hi, a couple of weeks ago i noticed that my system would crash and microsoft said it was with a device driver--no other information...i haven't installed any new drives or hardware and checked device manager to see if there were any problems---nothing..updated my video card--ran scan disc at start-up and system crashed)....virus def. up to date( but norton can't make it through the whole virus scan before the computer crashes again ....i keep getting a blue screen saying to uninstall any new hardware, check video adapter etc..(it changes each time)--i tried to repair xp using the disc but it cannot find a drive...i tried to reinstall xp but the system keeps crashing(it goes to setup but then it reboots and crashes)..i tried to format(using the 98 boot disk) but it says i can't format a network drive..my system restore was turned off by my son and i can't go back far enough.... please help..thanks
