On 98 it means that the computer is sending an S.O.S. not knowing how to move next. Possible solution, clean install which takes care of unused "junk" that infests every six-month old install.

You see "X-Newsreader: Microsoft CDO for Windows 2000" and all it means is that he is posting via the Microsoft web interface rather than a proper newsreader. It will appear like that no matter what operating system he is using.

Another possible solution to junk problems: Inteligent use of your computer & use of cleaning tools.

I don't suppose that it's one particular application that is prompting
this message? Do you note any similarities in what you're doing when these errors occur? When you "press any key", what happens? Also, see the Clean Boot article in my sig. Set up a Clean Boot and then see if you can replicate the problem. If so, then your system either needs cleaning up, or as Stanislaw says, you may be due for a rebuild. If a Clean Boot solves the problem, then you can assume that it's one or more background apps that are involved. In any case, more information describing your situation would help us help you. -- Gary S.

That message doesn't always work as advertised, too bad. Probably, it
depends upon what damage has been done to Windows's software routines by the crash. You are lucky, if any key will get you back. Even Ctrl-Alt-Del won't necessarily work, unless you are quick & press DEL repeatedly. Holding the power button for 4-seconds will, however, always cause a shutdown. Upon restart, Scandisk normally will run. When do you get that message-- frequently, rarely, doing what? -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, should things get worse after this, PCR "james" wrote in message ... | Any idea what this message is & why & how to solve this?
