how much ram do you have?

 

[AnthraX]

What's your CPU? What program are you using to but the avi into dvd?

is this the only app that makes your pc crash?

i have a gig of ram, my comp is an amd 64 3700+, 2.4 ghz running windows xp pro! it has crashed when i used dvd santa winavi and one other can remember what it was, when it happened with win avi i ran "check now" then it worked after that, then i tried another one and it crashed after i downloaded and tried to use it!!????

take out 1 stick of ram and then run it. if it does it again, try the other stick
