I never recommend installing two Microsoft operating systems to the same partition, and neither does Microsoft.

So what do you say mister realblackstuff? Time to give up?

[FONT=Comic Sans MS]Exactly! No BSODs in any other situations except browsing the net with IE. With Firefox no BSODs what so ever (nor with Opera). [/FONT]realblackstuff said:/…/ it is IE, which only BSODs when you visit certain websites. Using another browser causes no errors.
[FONT=Comic Sans MS]I have Logitech cordless optical mouse and even though it has USB “switch” (me and my English ) it’s connected on PS/2 (“round small connector”). On old pc I had only two USBs so both keyboard and mouse were connected on PS/2 and for some reason I did it even on this pc, even though I have more than plenty USBs. Should I try them on USB? [/FONT]realblackstuff said:There may be another cause, in the shape of your mouse. Is it a USB-mouse (with a flat square connector)? /.../
[FONT=Comic Sans MS]Thank you! [/FONT]realblackstuff said:I will "travel" around the world to see if I can find some more info.
[FONT=Comic Sans MS]Every single folder and file? [/FONT]realblackstuff said:Solution: right click the start button, and select "Explore", expand your directory tree, starting from the C: drive. Click on each folder in turn and see if any cause the BSOD to appear. If so, reboot, and simply attempt to copy the folder, and then delete it.
[FONT=Comic Sans MS]In security settings for IE I have only "medium" and "high" level… now it’s on “high” and I tried the risky site and – it was OK!!! I’ll use IE today to see if it will be ok… as you said – “to be sure to be sure”realblackstuff said:Hello Olja,
I think your problems are caused by an Add-On to IE, most likely it is ActiveX.
Go into IE, click on Tools/Internet Options. Click the Security tab, and make sure that the setting for Internet is "Medium". If not, change it and click Apply.
Now click on the "Custom Level" button on the same page. A new window opens with a list of ActiveX and other things. Change ALL lines (5 in my W2K-IE) with ActiveX in them to be set to "Disable".
Then click on OK, OK again and Exit IE.
Open IE again, and browse to that website that crashes your PC.
Hopefully it is OK now.
