A couple of days ago I had a stange problem regarding the installation of the new VIA 4in1 drivers...
I got the following error, which you can see on the attached screenshot.
So, I firgured maybe I was getting this b/c I 'tweaked' XP a little bit, removing some of the services that different websites deemed useless. I enable them all back to defualt, yet still get the same error. So, harkening back to the good ole win98 days, I reboot, and try again. bam, it works. This is very unsettling, since I have all but convinced myself that XP ended the days of a reboot magically fixing problems.
A day passes, and VIA releases a new set of 4in1 drivers. Once again, I try to install, and get the same error. Yet again, I reboot, and it installs fine.
THEN : in the process of typing this out, I attempt to type out this post and take a screenshot, but while pasting it in paint I get a BSOD?!?!
Can anyone tell me wtf is going on here? I looked in the event viewer to see what was happening at the time of the crash, and it seems that norton was up to something.... Ive attached a screen of the event viewer as well.
any input?
