reboot on fatal error or so ? you can turn it off somewhere.
Fortunate I don't have XP so I don't remember where to do that

-after it: don't forget to make "safe point" //i don't know how to call this in english

press F1 and choose fifth pointer from up

System restore point is what you're talking about there in the English version.

I don't like system restore points... They still kind of messy...

Go to 'System Properties' >> Advanced

Under Startup and Recovery, click on 'Settings' button.

There is a checkbox for Automatic restart, so uncheck it.

I believe that you have driver; problem, so I would recommend to update all drivers.

Also check Event View. (I’m not sure if Home edition has it)

You mean that it has to do with me changing from 66.81 to 61.77?

That might do it.

Why would you downgrade video driver? (if I'm not mistaken)

Well, I got a game "FlatOut" and it only worked on the 61.77
When I finish it, I'll upgrade again. Maybe U know a way how to make it work on newer drivers? :blink:
P.S. Got "Painkiller: BooH", it works slow, if I upgrade the driver - would it work better??? :blink:
