Message-ID: <C2o4vC.Cz9@vuse.vanderbilt.edu> Sender: jem@vuse.vanderbilt.edu Nntp-Posting-Host: cee1 Organization: Vanderbilt University School of Engineering, Nashville, TN, USA Date: Thu, 18 Feb 1993 23:50:00 GMT Lines: 13 My problem is this: several people use my computer unsupervised, few know much about computers. When something goes wrong in windows and they get a system error, if everything seems OK they keep going. Of course, everything is not necessarily OK. I would like to create a utility which will watch for windows system errors and when one occurs display a message with instructions to get out of windows immediately, reboot, run chkdsk, and so on. The machine was paid for by my adviser so I can't just bar all others from using it (nor do I want to). Any ideas? As for programming, I can work in Visual Basic or BC++, whichever is most appropriate for the task. Eric
