Hi.
The desktop crashed. I think crashed is a big word for it. I restarted it after a day or so of downloads, everything normal, on restart I saw a millisec of blue screen and then a restart. After I tried a normal start up and got the same resuly, a "use last known configuration that worked" start up and got the same result... I tried a safe mode start, and it worked.
So... it's not that bad. The thing is, I unplugged and replugged every USB I connected recently, just to berify. I think it might be a new program (in the last operation I installed several, mostly anti viruses...) (yeah, I know, if anyone wants to yell "bingo", now's the time).
but before I start uninstalling stuff (tried restoring it to a week ago, didn't work) I just want to find out what the blue screen says. maybe it's not always full of "0011110110110101011" and there are actual words I might understand. Thing is, I can't catch that much in that millisec...
I read somewhere I can choose to "not automatically restart the comuter on fatal errors" but I can't find that option. how do I work the "pause\break" button?
Help! it's not that urgent... but ... help.
Thanks.
p.s. if anyone can contact a webmaster here... you can ask him to delete my first 3 "blue screen restart" messages... I'm not trying to flood or something... but I can't even go in them to delete them.
