0x7E after installing alcohol120%

vista ultimate,
it was running smooth until i installed alcohol120 yesterday,
upon completion of installation, blue scrn and 0x7e, system dumping
it happens the same in any safe mode, even after the windows logo appeared
and i didnt loggin (just hanging on the welcome page), the same stop message
appeared after say 10 seconds, it happens the same in ALL modes..
there is noway for me to disable or uninstall any software or drivers.

I guessing you mean it also BSODs when booting into Safe Mode? Have you
tried booting into "Last Known Good Configuration"?

When you get this issue resolved, switch to the lesser (and free)
sibling of Alcohol 120% - Alcohol 52%. It does the same job as 120%,
just doesn't have the facility to burn ISOs to disk. And it works on
both Vista x86 and Vista x64.

Thanks dzomlija, but the issue isn't solved...since:
I know there is usually a choice of "last known good configuration"
I say "usually" because it doesn't appear this time...not once ever
I wonder why it doesn't appear at all
there are only 4 choices: 3 safemodes and normal mode
and the problem just keep on in all modes
I guess the alcohol installation must have crushed with some of the core
driver, eg. bus driver, so does that mean I have to reinstall windows? I just
don't want to do that and that's why I am seeking help here.
Is there any other possible way to solve the issue?

What you could try is slave your hard disk onto another computer (XP o
Vista), and then manually (or rename) the alcohol 120% driver. I'm no
sure which file that is, and I can't check now for reasons that shoul
be clear in my signature

Once you have done this, put your hard disk back in and see if you ca
boot again

dzomlija,

I apologize for butting into this thread but I'm curious about
something. What brand and model of UPS are you using and why didn't it stop
the spike? Also, did you receive the spike through the data connection or
the power cord?
I use an APC Back-UPS RS 500. It gives me only about 20 minutes but
that's more than enough time for a file save and safe shutdown. I have no
real need to use my system for any length of time during to a power failure.
Do you think I have cause to be concerned?

C.B.

APC is pretty good, but thats not what I was using. I was using the one
that I purchased from Telkom, the same blokes who provide my ADSL
"broadband" connection. Don't know who made it, because it was
re-branded as a Telkom product.

For you, 20 minutes to safely shutdown is plenty time, but the real
question is whether your UPS is good enough to stop a surge to your
mains supply caused by lightning.

In my case, it wasn't...

I've just had the same problem with Alcohol120%
The way to get "last known good configuration" as an option is to press
F8 on the boot screen that offers the setup option. It is usually the
first screen you see after turning the machine on.

It worked for me. I hope you've either solved the problem or it works
for you.
