Nvidia Firewall and the BSOD

[Monkeytool]

I have been experiening double BSOD's and after checking everything I could think of, 8 hours in prime 95 and 6 in memtest, I think based on my research I narrowed it down to the onboard firewall and nam from my nforce 4 board (dfi lanparty ultra-d) anyway I unistalled it and things ran fine for a while but now I am getting BSOD's again, and when I checked my task manager, I find that though I uninstalled the firewall/nam, it still shows up in the taskbar and looks as though it is merely disabled. I am confused, because nothing shows up under the uninstall program menu but it is still listed iun the start/programs menu. How do I get rid of this thing so I can run smoothly again? Any suggestions?

Oh and its off topic but why can't I go much further beyond 385 clock and 1015 mem on my BFG 6800GT?? Dammit!!

yea.. the nam makes me mad. it offers the choice to not use the web-based interface.. but the command-line interface is non-existant.
anyways, check the event log.. it could be conflicting hardware that's causing it ('eventvwr.msc').

open regedit and go to..
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet
go to 'Enum' and delete the keys.. LEGACY_NSVCIP and LEGACY_NSVCLOG
go to 'Services' and delete the keys.. nSvcIp and nSvcLog

won't get rid of it completely.. but it'll keep it from loading up on boot.

I had to skip the NVidia firewall. No BSOD, but it was giving me problems with almost everything I tried to run. I couldn't find any options to uninstall it, and I couldn't update it to fix the damned thing either. It was so messed up I finally did a reformat and a whole new WinXP install, but skipped the NVidia firewall crap when installing motherboard drivers.

the LEGACY_NSVCIP and LEGACY_NSVCLOG are under the ROOT under ENUM and I am for some reason unable to delete them, I try it without the nSvcIp and nSvcLog for now, I went through and cleared everything unnecessary from the startup tab in msconfig, hopefully this will work. Thanx itachi

Hmm everything was working alright for a while then I lost sound somehow, when I reinstalled the nvidia driver for audi the problems returned, so now I am back to getting random bsod's crap how do I fix this?? full wipe?

EDIT: It occured to me that maybe I didnt include all ther pertinent info. I have two comps networked (in my sig) and I almost always get a BSOD (on the new one with the nforce4) when I turn on or shut down my older comp so I really am sure it has something to do with NAM or the firewall or both. I am at a loss here, I reallyt hope this gets a fix, This is nvidia only setup and so far I kinda regret it.

reinstall nam.. then uninstall it. if the installer recognizes it as being installed already, removing it will be an option.
