I'm having a problem with some camera software ( canon utilities) that each time I try and open it it sends my computer into safemode . My computer is an E-machine 512m with windows XP. Is there some thing I can do to correct this?

deleat and reinstall the software

I recommend you check Canon's web site and see if there are any updates to the software that you could download that might fix the problem. Here's a link to the web site.
