Getting bad feedback from Windows Vista

Hi Everybody,

I am having quite some issues with a new computer that we got for our
company's director. It is an HP Pavilion Media Center m8325f Elite. Although
it comes with Windows Vista Home edition, we bought the upgrade to Windows
Vista Business edition. Once we installed this upgrade, we started having a
blue screen every other time we reboot this computer. The error code that we
get ( 0x0C5 ) talks about a driver that got corrupted. There are some
articles in your site that suggests choosing a specific starting mode to
identify which driver is the one that tries to use a page outside its pool.

It is not even a month since we bought the computer, and now we are
having another kind of blue screen in which Windows complains about a
specific antivirus file that got corrupted.

I know that there is not much that you can do other than to give
suggestions about how to isolate the problem. Still, I thought about letting
you know.

Best Regards,

Manuel

I agree with Carey. After being a not-so-proud owner of a few HP
boxes/laptops, I discovered that they are very sensitive to the drivers. And
HP is pretty slow updating their drivers.

IMHO, I would buy a Directory something more suited for an office
environment out of the box and forget about morphing it. Oh wait, a Director,
I forgot they want all the noisy flashy things.

I forgot to mention. Instead of HP laptop #3 for the wifey I bought her a
Mac. My ROI has risen dramatically.

Hi Mr Frisch,

Wow! Thank you very much for your answer! I must say that I already
downloaded and tried all of the specified drivers on the list that you kindly
sent me, as well as an additional driver from RealTek for the Ethernet
Network Controller.

Still... I never thought about re-installing them. I know by personal
experience that sometimes a driver must be installed before certain other
drivers. Let me try that and see what happens.

Thank you very much!

Best Regards,

Manuel

Hi Mr PNutts,

Thank you very much for your feedback! I agree with you, we should have
bought a Dell computer for business. We got flashed by the quad processor and
the low price. I know, I should know better...

What firewall, anti-virus application or security suite is installed? There
are some that cause problems which do not appear immediately.

Hi Mr Bob,

It is using Bell's Business Internet Security. Still, I disabled it and
the blue screen came out anyway. As of now, I'm using the Windows firewall
and Windows Defender.

Best Regards,

Tarh Ik
PS: Off the record, I agree with you, we should get rid of that Bell thing
and buy Norton. Unfortunately, we are going through some budget issues...

Norton? I never suggested it and never would. Norton is the worst of the
worst.

At one time Bell entered into a multi-year agreement with Norton so that
they are basically the same program under different names. As far as I know
that agreement was never severed.

I suggest you replace Bell with the free AVG http://free.grisoft.com/ or
Avast http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html, and Windows Firewall and
Windows Defender. /Disabling/ /Bell/ /is/ not/ enough/. ***You need to
completely uninstall it.***
