looks like a directx problem to me.Try to reinstall directx.
Illegal Operatons Everywhere!!!!!!!!!
I recently installed a diffenernt video card in my system, I downloaded the newest drives, installed directx 8.1, and configured everything nicely. Games work amazing, ePSXe runs flawless and pc games like Black and White work spectacular too. Here where the problem begins....
After playing a game, (for example, I just finished playing a game of black and white) it goes back to the desktop and I deciede I'd like to play a game of Tekken 3, so I load up the emulator, it works. Then I decide to load up vgs to take a 2d screen shot. BLUE SCREEN
I close the program after clickling on the illigal operation close button SEVERAL times. Now hardly anything works. I get illegal operations everywhere. The difficult part here, and why I'm asking you guys here is that I can't pinpoint what's causing the errors. Originally I thought it was UltraHLE and the wrapper I was using cause after running UltraHLE it would mess up directx. But now it's occuring after running other programs. I ran the directx diagnostic and it would load up before I get errors. It seems to be almost random when my computer starts to mess up. I know I haven't given you guys a lot to work with, but I haven't got a clue whats wrong. I've tried different drivers for the card, anything that popped into my head, but no luck. PLEASE HELP.

dunno m8, my 1GB 486 HD has 7 years and has been formated about 15 times... maybe its the brand
In my experience you either get a HD which will last for a long time or one that blows just after the waranty has expired:eyes:. eg my 210mb (yes I know I have more ram than that now ) lasted forever until I had to change it (ran out of ide channels) but the 820mb blew after about 1 year.

I had a big experience working on my University maintenance Lab, and i assure you Seagate HDs are terrible.
But just to add , logical formats that just relocate logical data for the filesystem cant damage the disk, what damages the disk are small dust particles or impacts from the read-heads and even strong magnectic interference . So dont shake or dive your comps in a strong magnectic field ok? .
Both are diminished by manufacturers with sealing and other methods.
Hey Ali Maxtors ATA100 Hds are pretty fast, go see some review on www.tomshardware.com.

Currently, i have an 80gig and 40gig Seagate Barracuda ATA IV which run really good, and i dont have any problems with them.. Generally, i never had any problems with any seagate/maxtor/fujitsu drives. I still have a seagate 1.7Gig HD that's is like 6 years old, and it still works without any bad sectors, i can't even remember how many times i've formatted it.. hehe..

But i admite the Barracuda Series is a diferent matter, more expensive=more quality.
I respect your opinion and wish you dont have any problem wih your HDs ever, .... but that i had bad times in Seagate´s hands i had ...
