Thanks Dale, Windows 7 actually, though it seems to be the same setting. I've changed it, though when I google "ae147db8" I get no useful results (yesterday just a furniture code, today my original post also).
I noticed that tab says to do a kernel dump to "%SystemRoot%\MEMORY.DMP". I can't find that file, though I suspect it wouldn't be a lot of use to me. Looking at the Event Viewer, "Administrative Events" looks like a place with useful information. There are 1545 events since Oct/09. The two most recent are: "Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Access Connections\AcCryptHlpr.dll".Error in manifest or policy file "C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Access Connections\AcCryptHlpr.dll" on line 0. Invalid Xml syntax." and "Session "Microsoft Security Essentials OOBE" stopped due to the following error: 0xC000000D" There are others, but what do I do with this information now that I've found it? Thanks! -- Andrew mailto:[email protected] Monday, April 19, 2010, 3:11:33 PM, you wrote: > At 01:44 PM 4/19/2010, Andrew Webber wrote: >>a few days ago there was a BSOD.
