Blue screen of death

ojfoggin · 08-11-2004, 02:06 PM

I have a feeling that Microsoft changed the BSOD for XP as I haven't seen it too often...

BUT...

I have recently downloaded Limewire (as has my housemate) and both of our machines randomly crash and go to BSOD (usually after I have left it for a while but it did it the other day while I was using IE)

It says something along the lines of "a file is missing netdlwl.??? (can't remember the ext)

All I can do is hit the restart button and windows boots up as though nothing has happened (no safe mode or anything) My friend has uninstalled Limewire and he says its gone away but I use it a lot and used to have it (before re install of win xp) and it worked fine.

Any advice?!?!?

P.S. I also had the windows has recovered from a critical error and I installed SP1 and it seems to have gone away for now.

If you're getting the type of BSOD that the only way out is to hit the reset button, you should be able to get the full name....

If you can get the full name that would be a start

Ok thanks

I'll see if I can get my pc to crash again...

!!I just remembered, I took a picture of it with my phone.

One sec, I'll see if I can get it.

I have recently downloaded Limewire

I haven't used limewire for a while, but I'm pretty sure that it is bundled with adware/spyware software. BearShare, which is also an ad-supported gnutella client (gnutella is a P2P network which I believe started with Napster in its free days), has a "lite" version for download on this website: http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/fil...8062&fileidx=1

Ad-aware has actually confirmed that this software contains no ad/spyware. Great program, you can download from multiple sources at the same time and I've never downloaded a corrupt mp3 or any viruses. FastTrack, the company that created BearShare, says that it made BearShare lite for people who wish to download freely with no adware or spyware (like who doesn't dumbass

) Good luck.
