    1. Have a look at How to ask for help

    2. Download and run VistaForums SysInfo Tool, Select All, and Export to a file.

    3. Upload the report and the Minidump file(s) that should be in C:\Windows\Minidump

    Hi joank,

    First of all, in future please post a reply within this message thread (just click Reply below), rather than starting a new one each time. A new thread should be used only when reporting a new problem.

    Then you need to upload the report file you created in the SysInfo tool and the latest minidump file in the C:\Windows\minidump folder. See Vista Forums - FAQ: Reading and Posting Messages for how to upload with your reply.

    While you're waiting for a reply, please familiarize your self with the entire contents of the FAQ page above.
