ASWSP.SYS crash
« on: August 20, 2012, 11:13:47 AM »
Hello
I do see that people have asked for help for similar issues but I thought I should ask in case something is different.


Last few days my computer has started crashing and referring to ASWSP.SYS

I'm using avast! FREE

Please update to the latest version (7.0.1466). That should solve the problem.

Thanks

Minidumps require a pagefile on your system partition. It need not be very large, mine is 16 MB.

That maybe true but where are they if the minidump folder is empty

Nowhere. Without at least a small pagefile they are simply not made.

I'm a newbie, I dont understand what or how I do what you are talking about, I thought I'd post what my settings I can find, are these them? maybe someone can explain what it should be.

I've been trying but avast has been siting on: initializing, please wait for over half an hour?
