Curse

Like I said, I get blue screen of death every time i join a mission or host a mission with people that are not computer controlled. Its bothering me because I can do the missions by myself but, as we all know... Not all missions can be done with Henchies.. Any Solutions?

It worked in Proficies just fine, then with the first weeks of nightfall it was ok... Now its just freaking out. I thought it might be my virus scanner, but I quickly uninstalled that... Then I thought it was Xfire, So, I unstalled that... Then it was still haveing the problem... So, I uninstalled everything I didnt need, because I thought it might have been a software conflict.... Ive run out of ideas and am going crazy now. Any Help.

Thanks.

If you're using XP or 2K, then blue screens are almost always caused by faulty drivers, not the software applications (there's no way I'm aware of for an application to cause a blue-screen on its own - Windows protects against that, but drivers run at a lower level in the OS). I can't explain why it would only happen with players and not henchies. Maybe players use a different shader that's making your video card fault? Or playing a sound that henchies don't use? Very odd...

Check out the text when you get the next blue screen. There's probably a filename (something ending with a .sys perhaps). Google that name and it should help you narrow down the problem - at least perhaps tell you which system component or driver is to blame.

Alright, Thanks man. It just comes up so fast and goes away so fast. The .sys it hard to see.

Il google the thing.

Another funny thing is when I do get blue screen'd when I join a party for the mission 5 minutes after boot it works just fine :'(

What does the BSoD say, exactly? also I wouldn't be so hasty as to uninstall apps, just disable tehm in the task bar (lower right of screen) and see if that helps. If that then resolves the problem, I would either google it, armed with specific info, or uninstall in altogether..
