Re: RMView. Re: Occasional traps or locks on WPS start

Next step is disabling the SoundBlaster drivers to see if it makes any difference.
I'd go further and also pull out the card, if possible.

If there really is a hardware problem, how could I find what is
causing it now? Should the problem appear in Windows as well?

It would be very hard to find out without a standalone dump, which is something
with which I'm not set up anymore to help -- maybe someone else is. As for Windoze, well, if Winxp works reliably, then it's probably an OS/2 driver problem rather than hardware (though not for sure). Not too much you can do, then. On the whole, the multimedia drivers were among the less stable ones, in my opinion.

If you haven't already done so, you should also download and run memtest.
good luck...
