Did you do service pack 2?

I turned off updates since I got my new hard drive. It used to tell me to update a lot, and occasionally that would screw something up and so a new update would be required to fix the update...

Haven't updated in about 11 months and am not going to unless I see a good reason to which is unlikely.

My moms computer on vista started throwing the BSOD about once a week.



Updated to 7 and problem solved
Did you test the HD? Failing HD can cause BSOD's . Installing a new OS will write files to other locations and may seem like the issue is solved, but it's not..

New axles ordered for the Toyota. CV joints are about to fall apart and seize.

The key was turning user account control off. It took me a lot of searching through the control panel and help menus until I figured that out. No more asking permission over and over. Do you want to open this file you just clicked on? Yes. Are you sure? YES already. Are you really, really sure? This is an administrative action and all. AAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHH.



No more of that.
Just type UAC at the Start -> Search/Run box.

I guess I have a thing going. I drive old cars, listen to old music, and use old computer stuff. Living in the Past.

Well, first I had to figure out what I was searching for. I had to pay attention to the messages that popped up.

They're usually either saggy or plastic. Much like the cars.

A few of them rattle endlessly, also much like the cars...

You really have to watch out for the ones with rot around the edges...
