Repeated Active Desktop Recovery

I'm getting more frequent (once a week) Active Desktop Recovery on my Dell Dimension Standup. Am on Windows XP. We use this machine as a home server; running the printer off of it, while the other devices in the house a wireless linked. I change the Regedit values to 0 as suggested on various blogs and it fixes the problem on a reboot. I receive a window: "The System has recovered from a serious error". The Error Signature on the more information click gives me: BCCode: 100000d1 BCP1: 244828aB BCP2: 00000002 BCP3: 0000000000 BCP4: FO173D98 OSVer: 5_1_2600 SP: 3_0 Product 768_1 View tecnnical information: the following files will be included in this error report: C:'document~1\owners\LOcals~1\Temp\WER184c.dir00\Mini0161811-01.dmp …same ….\sysdata.xml MS Word 2003 then comes up; and the last file I was working on is displayed (recovered). I'm runing Avira Antivirus Personal…which needs to be updated from ten days ago. and Last complete system scan was a month ago. Am not sure why it doesn't run more often.

It appears you are having a few problems. The system has recovered from a serious error message is the indicator that your system has done a "blue screen of death." This is pretty significant and should be addressed first. Those minidumps are placed in your C:\Windows\Minidump folder. They'll help us to diagnose what the issue is. Open My Computer, navigate to C:\Windows\Minidump. Grab the 5 most recent minidumps by holding the ctrl key and clicking each one to highlight it. Then, right-click one of them, click Send To -> compressed zip folder. Attach that zip file to your next post.

this may be the record for the longest time between a post. 

I put away the computer and was travelling.  I set it up again….and still have the problem (big surprise).  

would you please take a look at the compressed files. 

Or is there a better way to check this out. 

Or….should I be thinking about sending old bessy to computer heaven…?

….How do I attach a file to a WTT post?

For dump files, zip them up into a single .zip file. Only include the last 5 or so please.
