Blue Screen Of Death And Path Env Variables?

[Beno]

Hi Every1,

Question1:

Is the blue screen of death caused by the Op.Sys or the CPU??

Question2:

I just installed a Java Compiler and part of the installation required me to set a path environment variable to the autoexec.bat file.

What is the path environment variable for and why to the autoexec.bat file.
Is it the autoexec.bat file becuase this is the file that automatically loads applications at Windows startup time??

Any answers will be appreciated greatly!

Cheers

Beno

The BSOD can be caused by almost any program that commits a violation in a program, dll or memory and corrupts the memory or interferes with other programs or the operating system.

The Environment variable “Path” in the autoexec.bat file tells the O/S and the program where to find Files it needs to operate correctly .
The autoexec.bat file is run at boot up and can be used to pass information on to the system and load programs that are not loaded by windows .
Like the cd-rom extension for dos and the settings or tsr’s some people need.
