RE: Video Hardware Crash
Bag it. You're unlikely to ever get an issue like this resolved with Vista -
it's issues and problems are too essoteric and device specific. So, if you
really have to use Aurora, wipe and install XP, or get a new PC. If the new
one has Vista also, it's unlikely it will have the same issue, but it will
have others.
A friend of mine had a PC with Vista Premium (don't know what SP) that also
did this, although I don't remember if it was for just 1 or 2 specific screen
savers. Anyway, it crashed at exactly 4 hours and 13 minutes every time.
After months of talking to (screaming at) the PC manufacturer (COMPAQ) and
Microsoft, he finally disabled the screen saver and turned the monitor off
instead.
Where did you get a copy of Win7 beta? I'm looking at wiping my Vista and
installing XP, but may try that if it's affordable.
