Re: Vista BSOD while starting up every 3-4 times

What I understand from the ci.dll references I read about
some checking of the windows components that are loaded
during startup is performed by CI.DLL. It seems it is a
checking that the files are indeed the ones they are supposed
to be, signatures, hash keys and the like.

So i gather during this checking the CI.DLL crashes
because it releases a resource it does not own.

I suppose that might be some infected or plain "wrong" file
that CI.DLL cannot check properly and boooom.

I uninstalled my antivirus (AVG free) and installed the
AVAST free to see if I will get some different virus scan results
but nothing. 500K of files clean ...

I believe that the key is the periodic nature of this fault.
It does not happen every time, but every 3-4 times.
But I am not sure what to look for, or what to log
so that my sleuthing can continue.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.
