    Default Won't stop crashing

    I've just installed mame on my cpu,..i know i have enough resources,ram and hard drive,etc but it's crashing left right and center,...I can play for about 5 or 10 minuites but then "crash" and I have to physically restart,...can't do anything else. Do anyone have experiance with this??? If so,...please reply,..it's driving me crazy!!!!!!!!!! It seems to work fine on my bud's cpu,...for some reason not mine

    You could have a virus (not the best support is it)
    Check your Task Manager for any unknown processes running(end ones you know are crap)
    Also what are you sys. specs.'s,,, Yes i understand you have the required specs but it may help

    ALSO, check for any updates for the emu, tell me what game is running, and maybe even update windows

    Maybe hardware or memory conflict. Check your system...

    Definetly do not have a virus,....reformatted everything just yesterday,...as far as hardware,..180 gig harddrive,784 meg ddr ram,i'm running xp pro...also using a tv out card to my rear projection. I'm using a wireless logitech access trio key/mouse. and my controllers of preference are the logitech cordless wingman,..i've replaced wireless products with hardwired thinking that they were clashing but it still crashes,..if it's of any relation,....i also used to be able to burn dvds,..i've done many and now i does the same "crashing" as does the roms!!!,......i'm using mame Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator for Win32 file version 0.88.0.0

    You should do a clean reinstallation of Windows XP. I do so when something is that bad
