Yeah, XP can be made pretty rock solid. Once everything's set up, you can leave it as is. You know you can turn off auto-updates right? Do you even need it connected to the net? Cutting that off can simplify things. |

yea I guess I don't really maintain it or anything. I just hit the power button I wired from the PC to the outside of my cab and it boots directly into Maximus arcade. Randomly though the games will start to just not work. I haven't figured out why. I'll put a fresh .zip of Mvsc and after about a month it will start to say files are missing and I'll have to re-download it. |

Bad hard drive? Shaking it around with a subwoofer or something? Haha. Buy a solid state drive. |

Trojan or spybot? Disconnect the Internet as suggested would be my first thought. See if it still has trouble. |

My mame cabinet is running on an XP install that I installed in 2006. It isn't connected to the internet. I haven't updated anything on it and it has given me zero problems in the last 6 years. |
