Windows has detected and recovered...
-
Bull it has recovered. Recently I started to get this error message… Windows has detected and recovered from a device failure. Please save your work and reboot to restore full functionality. OK? No, it's not ok darn it. If you were so darn smart to detect and RECOVER from the error can you kindly please tell me WHAT CAUSED it? This error leaves my system running but in a video mode that I would not wish on my mothers computer (320X200 @ 16 colors). Anyone have any ideas? Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-6VTXD CPU: Dual PIII 1Ghz RAM: 2Gig Chipset: VIA Apollo Pro 133T Sound: On board AC'97 Video: All-In-Wonder Radeon 7500 OS: Windows XP SP1

Sorry, I can't help you out, but: Ray Cassick wrote: Windows has detected and recovered from a device failure.

I remember getting a similar one: "Windows has recovered from an undetected error." Smart. Real smart. How did it know there's an error if the error is undetected? Plus, how could it recover? :laugh: Regards,

It sounds like Windows detected a corrupted video driver and replaced it. Rebooting is supposed to unload the damaged code and replace it with the fresh copy. It rarely works. Try re-installing the video card software from the original CD or, better yet, download the latest version from the manufacturer's website.

"Ask not for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee..."Yeah, I was going to do that anyway. Actually it is time for my yearly reinstall of the system. I was just hoping that there would be some cool hidden log file somewhere that would tell me WAHT was broken. It is so strange... All the software that I build is fully instrumented so that I can get logs from people and know exactly how the app was running at the time of a crash. I really wonder why Windows does not have something similar. Sure there is SQL tracing and Tapi tracing, but nothing in the OS itself. Hmmmmm. Maybe if I loaded the debug symbols and attached via a remote debugger.
