msn crashing vista

[jackaman]

Performed clean install of Vista. Everything runs fine until I installed MSN
9.5. When I connect to the internet using my MSN connection, my pc will give a blue screen and reboot. Downloaded and reinstalled MSN 9.5., no help.

My pc will crash when connecting to my msn account (with or without MSN
installed). However, when I connect to the internet when using a shared
internet connection with my other pc that has msn installed I have no
problems. Below is what I get:

MSN as an ISP?
I am confused.

 

[GameJunkie72792]

yes msn is an isp, has been for the past forever

 

[peepnklown]

I know MSN as an ISP via dial-up but, did not know they still continued services…but, how does being a ‘jerk’ help the matter?

 

[GameJunkie72792]

it doesnt really and i wasnt going for the whole being a 'jerk' thing sorry i came across that way...
and try to run it in compatability mode, idk i havent seen this problem except here and now...

Is this dial up? If so, have you considered that your modem may be the cause? "BCCODE" is a good sign there's a hardware problem, which could also indicate driver issues.
