I have a baffling problem. I have A Dell Dimension, 1meg Ram , 2 HD ( one
500mb/one 300mb) and use Bitdefender 9 pro security suite.

As my email I use OE 6.

It's been months ago that on and off my computer crashes when I send an
email, particularly when I'm sending or forwarding something with an
attachment. Most of the time it only FREEZES and I have to reboot but other
times I get the following blue screens:

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL or

BUGCODE_USB_DRIVER

Now what's puzzling is that if I TURN OFF virus scanning for OUTGOING mails,
my computer crashes ALL THE TIME. If I turn it on it happens intermittently
as I explained and if I close altogether my antivirus the problem DOES NOT
HAPPEN.

At first I thought it may be the security suite program, but it also
happened with Norton and it took me weeks before a realized what was
happening and in the mean time I nagged Dell considering that it was a
hardware problem.

I looked into system manager and there are no conflicts and also I've
scanned for virus, Trojans and malware thoroughly. In other words my
computer is clean.

Sincerely I don't know what to do and would appreciate advice.



I'd appreciate your advice.

Do you have your anti virus checking your email? If so, disable it as it
offers no additional protection and can cause problems like this.

If you don't have your AV checking your emails, create a new identity
with OE, import your accounts, settings, messages to the new identity
and see if the problem goes away. If it does, eliminate the old identity
which has become corrupt.

Such a machine won't run OE6. Methinks your description is wrong.
Windows version?

It's not.

I guess because it's Friday, reading comprehension is low. I was
referring to Frank's statement: "Such a machine won't run OE6."

Boy, you sure are into changing the subject, aren't you? Care to cover
the first one first?

I suspect that he meant GB, not MB.

6.00.2900.2670 is only available o WinXP SP2, which also won't run on 1 MB
of RAM.
