capture crashes

[willan]

I can only catpture at the most 10 minutes of video before my system crashes. Sometimes it crashes after a couple of minutes. I have read and tried all the ideas on this site and others. I have removed everything running in the background, defragged, tried capturing to different drives, changing virtual memory settings etc. During capture the resource meter is showing system resources as 61%, user resources 82% and GDI resources 61%.
Any successful capture is good quality in AVI, VCD, and SVCD. but I cannot capture enough.
Just before the system shutdown the picture starts to show horizontal lines like an interlaced image does on a monitor. After running scandisk it reports finding lost data in file segments.
At the moment I am using cyberlink's power director but the problem occurs using any software and I have tried different drivers for the aver ezcapture card.
Do I need a larger processor or more memory?
Can someone point me in the right direction, it's driving me mad.

Windows ME is widely regarded as a poor excuse for an operating system, even for Microsoft. If it's an option, I would suggest you upgrade (clean format and install) to Windows XP.

Also, 10 minutes of raw DV is about 2GB, this is the maximum filesize for many filesystems. You might consider exploring other filesystem options, or trying to capture in chunks that are smaller then 2GB.

I've sorted the problem !!
Updated the chipset drivers and everything now works perfectly.
Hope this may help somebody else.
