It's greek to me, but these are the files noted in the automatic Windows error dialog box after the system reboots.

C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini120105-08.dmp
C:\DOCUME~1\Tom\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER1.tmp.dir00\sysdata.xml

You can examine that Mini120105-08.dmp file with MS debugger WinDbg:

Code: Select all

!analyze -v

will tell you the driver that causes the problem.

Please install TC and Acdsee in a way where TC works (but Acddsee doesn't). Then put the cursor on a file you want to open with Acdsee, then choose files - associate - new. Choose acdsee.exe and click OK. This should fix the malfunctioning association.

there is a setting in WinXp about "automatic recovery" or so.
Contextmenu of: "My Computer", find something like "Start and recover" and uncheck "automatic reboot".
And: If you don't want Bill to know everything about your computer, uncheck "Error Reporting Service" either.

Kind regards

Use RegistryMonitor to find out what is happening in the registry after the call. That may give you some clues. Since this procedure is in the registry all the way, this is the best place to search for the problem. Of course, try to set up associations in the registry manulay and/or in all regular ways.
