Blue Screens getting to be an old friend.

Starting using Vista about 3 weeks ago and I must admit I am amazed by the
number of blue screens I have gotten. Just about all of them has to do with
older versions of the software that I run.

I had thought that Vista was going to prevent many of the blue screens, but
that might be wishful thinking on my part. In any case, I hope that when the
first SP comes out that Windows might be able to trap some of these errors
before a blue screen.

Do have to say the system restore feature seems to work much better in Vista
than XP. As you can guess I have used it to get out of a software install
gone bad.

Since this information seems to be asked about:
I am running a Dell 9200 Dual Core 1.86 with 2 Gig of memory
A 256 Meg Video Card

Windows did trap the error. that why it choose to crash the system, because
the faulty component didn't handle the error so windows had to. The CPU
warned windows of the error.

Windows can't read minds, it has no idea what the component was tryng to
acomplish.

It crashes rather than risk destroying data.

Look to problems with hardware, drivers and memory.
