Re: Forced (blue screen) shut downs after windows XP update

Hi there,

Write down the error code(s) the blue screen shows and report them here it
should be 0x0000000X (0x000000x, 0x0000000x etc.) if any other text appears
of importance post it as well please.

These error codes might help solve the problem(s) you are having.

Best regards,
Michel Denie
