Windows 7 blue screening...how do I find out why
Hi
I loaded windows 7 on a hard drive that duel boots between XP and Windows 7. XP runs lovely, it always did. Windows 7 blue screens several times a day. Usually when IE8 or media player is on, but it can just happen on a mouse click. It never happens on it's own, but always if you are moving a window around or clicking on something etc. Can anyone suggest the best way i can track down the problem? Or is it likely to be because of the duel boot. Everything i have heard about windows 7 suggests this problem is not norm al. I have down loaded latest drivers and have kept about 80% of my applications off to try to give it a chance, but it still goes down Many thanks |

Many thanks for that Dave,
I have now found out which driver it is and am attempting to get the solution from MS help forums. Thank you "Dave-UK" Here@home wrote in message ... "Yokochanie" wrote in message ...
