With XP most 'Stop Errors' (aka the Blue Screen of Death) are either hardware or driver issues. Chances are that either PC world have f'ed up the installation of USB 2.0 or the drivers have become corrupt - best bet is to re-install it. From what I've seen here, I'd advise you take it back to PC world to get it done and not listen to wanna-be Tech goons on this site.

Anyone have any thoughts on this and why I keep getting it. Microsoft says it is a driver problem and the driver needs updating which I have done. Just seems to happen only when I am running either Emule or Limewire.
So, it's... dead. :
So, what can anyone do? Right? 😕
RIGHT! GNU/Linux! 😀

1. Back up all data files
2. Go to Help and Support
3. Select 'restore my computer to an earlier time'
4. Select an appropriate restore point - a date prior to your installing the USB device or Limewire or other suspect software.
Note that data files and email files are not overwritten.

Here is the numbers for the blue screen.
0x00000044
(0x81c62008,0x00000D63,0x00000000,0x00000000)
For example, if you do nothing more than emails and listen to music, does it happen then?
I had a strange situation where the customer only had this when they copied a dvd or tried storing loads of data.
It was resolved by ghosting the harddrive and swapping with a new one.
This may not be the case with you mind.

Seriously, I'm not kidding either. Ubuntu's the way to go if you haven't done
it before. It can be sensitive the first time around, so you want something
nice and tender, and totally free.

Disconnect the internal hard drive as well? So how would i go about disconnecting internal hard drive if that is what you want?

Yes the internal drive is the C drive (we don’t need to disconnect this drive, so no opening the case) 😀
Your external hard drive is the one that gets plugged into the usb2 slot (this one is easy to disconnect, just pull the usb2 plug).
When you use limewire does the download go to C:\Shared (if it does then this might be a clue as to the problem)?
Edit: We need to find out at which exact point it fails.
(Bet you a quid its a timing problem with your internal hard drive driver)
