I know, I've read the MS page, it doesn't help though, as I've tested the RAM and such, I'm going to try un-installing the updates tomorrow...

That was the alternative to drivers or any problem being caused by an update there. The reason this one is a little awkward is that no driver is specified like seen with the BSODs seen here due to Vista drivers automatically being downloaded by the installer as well as the MS update site for sound and the ATI goofup with the Catalyst 7.9 that also came on the software disk for the newer card here.

When going to manually remove the updates you have to right click on each one there to click the uninstall popup. They are easy enough to find in the Programs+Features with a click on the view updates link seen at the upper left corner of the screen. Hopefully that will clean it up otherwise you may need a full reinstall to get anywhere.

I've un-installed all the MS updates, but that wasn't the problem... Any ideas what it could be? Thanks!

You will have to review everything besides Vista you installed since first getting it running or plan a clean install from scratch to debug the problem being seen there. I strongly suspected something else besides any updates while not being able to rule anything out.

If you are forced to reinstall Windows make sure you first restore factory defaults without ocing and trying Windows again with only 2gb of memory at first. Once Vista is up you can put the other dimm back in. That will avoid a few types of errors seen with 4gb installed.

It does seem to point to some problem during the initial installation of Windows with the newer hardwares and flaky drivers. I ran right into that here when first getting the new build going and both XP and Vista saw driver headaches.

Ok, So I'm so close to figuring it out!

I went to a LAN event last night and all I had plugged in was the Mouse, Keyboard and Monitor, no Internet.

When I shut it down, it didn't BSOD, straight off!

So, I think it's the drivers for the Wireless Reciever I have... How do I uninstall them, I had a CD that came with it and installed them when I got Vista... How do I find where they are and un-install them? Thanks!

uninstall them in the device manager

I can do that Ok, but the install CD won't let me click install, I click it, but it won't do anything, nor will the Quit button, but the one in the top right will



I know it's those drivers that are resposible because I un-install them and the BSOD goes... but without them I don't have the internet...

These are the drivers;



What do you suggest?

With the first set being the problem since you managed to get Windows down to the basics avoiding the need to see a total reinstallation you now have two options for seeing the drivers needed go back on. The first would be the add new hardware wizard for manually selecting the device from a list and browing the cd for the correct driver set. Window will then see those installed once the right one is selected. That will also bypass the installer there.

The second option once drivers have been installed would be the update driver option seen when right clicking on the item in the device manager. You can have Windows perform the auto search for drivers as well as browing the cd for them. The auto search online is out until connected however.
