What is going on here...? I have been doing some system maintenance lately (updated software and cleaned up my drives), but every time i boot my pc, a message appears, telling me windows recoverd from a serious error.


Signature of this error is this:
BCCode : 50 BCP1 : E1202000 BCP2 : 00000000 BCP3 : F3D16D4A
BCP4 : 00000001 OSVer : 5_1_2600 SP : 0_0 Product : 768_1


Info on the error is this:
C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini051803-01.dmp
C:\DOCUME~1\Eigenaar\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER1.tmp.dir00\ sysdata.xml

Can anybody tell me what is going on here???

This is a known problem. Basically the computer had this error once but did not clear the flag for it. Therefore it gets reported to you every time you boot.

Simplest way to get rid of it is to boot into dos (or the recovery console if using NTFS) & delete the swap file (pagefile.sys)

You will need to remove the read only attribute before you can delete it[attrib -s -r -h pagefile.sys].

The swapfile will be recreated when you restart.

There is a patch for this if you search the MS knowledgebase.
