My PC has a stop message but it flashes by so fast and
restarts that I can't read it. Is there a way to pause
it so I can write it down?

Thanx ..... Rick
 
The computer is configured to reboot on error.

Control Panel>System
Advanced Tab
Startup and Recovery section
Settings button
Locate "Automatically Restart" checkbox. Uncheck it.

Then click OK, OK

Now it won't reboot so you can now read the screen.
 
Hi Rick,

System restarts automatically because of a STOP error and if XP is
configured to "Automatically Restart" on errors. In this case, exact error
is unknown. So, you want to uncheck the "Automatically Restart" option and
next time, system won't reboot again. Instead it shows the STOP blue screen.
There you can identify which driver is causing the error.

Click Start, click Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance, and
then click System.
Click the Advanced tab.
Under Startup and Recovery, click Settings.
Under System Failure, select the check boxes that correspond to the actions
that you want Windows to perform if a sever error occurs.
Uncheck "Automatically restart"

Automatically restart specifies that Windows will automatically restart your
computer.
