I installed Vista onto my desktop pc recently. After installation, during
boot up it gives an error message: grfilter.sys is corrupt. However, throught
safe mode, i got back to windows xp. Any idea how to overcome the grfilter
problem??
 
Hello,
Grfilter.sys I think comes from Aluria. (locate the file and right-click on
it, check properties)
This could be EarthLink Protection Control Center application for example,
they may have other programs that use this as well with similar names.
You may need to uninstall this prior to upgrading or contact the company
that supplied the program for an update.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
