... using windows 98 also after leaving my computer for a while on it's own it gets a bluescreen but I'm able to preview my screensavers so I don't think they're the problem so I disabled sleep mode let's see if that works In all seriousness, I've seen many of the best Win98 boxes get into a "habit" of blue screening after a duration of operation for no explainable reason. WinME was even worse for this. I took an old 400MHz tablet PC, installed WinME on it, and rigged it with a serial-port based GPS reciever. All very simple, no frills. Fresh installation of WinME and the GPS map software. Sort of a poor man's GPS. Just for fun I took it for a test ride -- remember, not touching the screen, not running anything else, not doing anything but tracking my position -- and it blue screened after 40 miles. What really sucks about that machine is that it has no natural keyboard, and the power button doesn't work when it blue screens. So I couldn't even reset it... and then I knocked out its cig-lighter power connector and it went onto the battery, which, as it began to discharge and get low, started making this annoying beeping sound for about 15 minutes until it finally discharged completely. (The HDD wasn't active anymore, so it was on low-power, slow-drain.  ) So anyway... I wouldn't get too fretful about a Win9x box blue screening after running a while. It just wasn't designed for "mission critical" applications... or, as it sometimes feels, even regular usage. I wish this were in good humor, but it really is designed poorly. Not that this has anything to do with the original topic anymore, but for really old computers that I want to do something stable, I'll even install WinNT 4.0 before Windows 95. The only exception is if I think it'll be doing DOS games... Windows 2000 is the middle step, then Windows XP... |

Windows 95 bluescreens after 49 days of operation. Always. Um, always insinuates it makes it more than 24 hours first. |

Ah, neat, it does... more precisely, it apparently is "... Win 95 and 98 both [...] will crash after 49 days, 17 hours, 2 minutes and 47.296 seconds of usage..."
That's something else to know.
