1207064 2011-06-05 09:43:00 Thats a windws system file. It may not be the cause, it maybe a driver causing it to crash. What version of windows is it?? Reboot / hold F8 down wait for the menu, Select disable auto restart Speedy Gonzales (78)

1207066 2011-06-05 10:58:00 Next step?

Do I make the rescue discs and use them to restore the system to it's original state or use one of those driver sires from Gizmo?

1207067 2011-06-05 11:04:00 Driver sites from who? If you can create the restore the cd's / dvd, I would.

Just dont install drivers from anywhere. Get them from the manufacturer's site

1207068 2011-06-05 11:09:00 So that is a windows driver so I should be able to get it from MS?

Or Acer?

1207069 2011-06-05 11:13:00 Its a windows file (the file thats crashing its not a driver). But like I said, something else maybe making it crash. Open a command prompt as admin, and type sfc /scannow

See, if it finds any corrupt files / replaces it / them. But you need the Windows cd / dvd (just in case). This file is on the DVD (in compressed form)

How do I open a command prompt as an admin?

I used ccleaner a while ago and backed up the registry - I have back ups back to Oct10. Should I try and restore one of them?

I'll make the DVD tomorrow if you can tell me about the admin thing

1207071 2011-06-05 11:40:00 You right mouse on it then select run as admin Speedy Gonzales (78)
1207072 2011-06-05 11:52:00 You right mouse on it then select run as admin

Should I try the ccleaner back ups or am I barking up the wrong tree?

1207073 2011-06-05 11:54:00 Dont worry about ccleaner yet. We'll see if it picks up any corrupt files first Speedy Gonzales (78)
