Troubleshooting Windows STOP Messages

STOP Messages literally mean Windows has stopped! These appear only in the NT-based operating systems: Win NT, Win 2000, Win XP, and Vista. Most are hardware issues.

General Troubleshooting of STOP Messages:

1. Examine the “System” and “Application” logs in Event Viewer for other recent errors that might give further clues. To do this, launch EventVwr.msc from a Run box; or open “Administrative Tools” in the Control Panel then launch Event Viewer.
2. If you’ve recently added new hardware, remove it and retest.
3. Run hardware diagnostics supplied by the manufacturer.
4. Make sure device drivers and system BIOS are up-to-date.
5. However, if you’ve installed new drivers just before the problem appeared, try rolling them back to the older ones.
6. Open the box and make sure all hardware is correctly installed, well seated, and solidly connected.
7. Confirm that all of your hardware is on the Hardware Compatibility List. If some of it isn’t, then pay particular attention to the non-HCL hardware in your troubleshooting.
8. Check for viruses.
9. Investigate recently added software.
10. Examine (and try disabling) BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing.

Moving Apps from One Computer to Another One

Try MoveMe.

Laplink PCMover will move your programs and data. It is the number 1 migration program. PCMover will move registry settings as well as files. Have you tried it? There is nothing native to Windows XP that will move programs. You need a third party program like PCMover.

You could use Norton Ghost to clone the harddrive.

I used Alohabob PC Relocator. Alohabob PC Relocator, is also a solution that will move applications and registry settings, not just files.
