Hi I have a stop error on every shutdown that says there is a problem with win32k.sys. Can I copy the file from another PC to try and cure the problem? Steve

Ok, I solved my problem, but my solution probably won't apply to all (if any) of you guys. I have an option with my board (Asus A7N8X) for RAM timing and I only had to change the RAM timing from "Optimal" to "Sync", which effectively lowers the RAM speed. For those without this option, try lowering your memory speed (133Mhz worked for me) or try switching RAM Dimms/Simms. There errors are usually symptoms of memory problems. Also try to test you RAM using memtest-86 (http://www.memtest86.com/), it found some errors while my RAM was using a higher clock speed but none with my current 133Mhz. found this on another site, Also seems to be something to do with the Video card drivers. ( depending, also on the referencing of the DLL , which seems to vary at times. ) Also may try to update the video card drivers if at all possible, More , " Here " MSI 845e mb 1 gb ram and a p4 2.4n running xp ,win 2000 advanced server and win 98 SE alot to learn and I know so little !!!!
