Best way to test this is to get another XP machine.  Load just the basic drivers and wme9 and dx9 and test the encoding on that system.

If it blows up there....it could possibly be the card.  Or the XP device drivers .. but viewcast wouldn't write buggy drivers would they?? :-\

I am using Win 2003 server & just for testing if my pc reboots or halts, I have installed WME today & have put it on test since last 4-5 hrs........ no issues yet (touch wood).

I'll update incase of any issues are arised.

But I feel your PC needs find tunning, try run helpfull utility like System Mechanic or similar & clean the reg., defrag HDD, memory etc.

Heh sandeep.  I encode 24/7 so I can usually manage several days of encoding before something blows up (WME crashes)

I just haven't been able to pinpoint why it dies on some machines and not others.  Maybe the system load is too high for some -- we have users connecting to those machines on a daily basis.

Hi,

Being an intermitant problem, at this moment I can only suggest that you will need to do step by step diag. as I had said previously, check all bottlenecks & keep a note of instances when & during which process the problem have arised, also keep a note of parallel load on the m/c. when the problem had arised.

This will ease out comming to some conclusion.

Regards
