Hey my moms computer bluescreens when its connected to the internet? is that a registry problem or what? how do i fix it?

its actually called bluescreen of death

if i recall its a registry problem

A hammer.

What is the Operating System??? Does the Blue Screen of Death show up at any other times?

ljcc1964 you are so sensitive.

Ball peen hammers work the best.

I was thinking more like Thor's Hammer....

That would work for me...would do wonders to get a laptop's attention.

no it only bluescreens when i get connected to the net

try reformating the computer

lol im computer dumb.. how do i do that?

This poor dude. heres some real help if you havent fixed it.

Sounds like a dll issue. Run "system restore" and that should fix it. If not, I would need to know what OS and about when it first started. Vista can be a nightmare and thats why they are already replacing it . Whatever you do, DO NOT PLAY WITH THE REGISTRY!!! You mess up even a period and you might be re-installing everything including the OS. Good luck.

its XP and it started a while ago .. ive tried system restore before and it always says "sestem restore not competed" or something

Based on that information you will need to do a system reinstall because something got corupted or deleted.

If you have a partioned drive you need to reboot and press E@ or the key it directs you to to restore while booting. Then follow the directions to reinstall the partition drive only (Non-destructive).

If you do not have a partitioned drive, you will neeed a restore disk which should of come with the computer. Again put it in and follow the directions.

Either case it is quite operator friendly. Your lucky its XP. One of these procedures will fix your problem

that key is F2 I believe

What a BSOD code?
the code wrote after word STOP

that stands for blue screen of death '''same problem here...usually need to restore or reinstall OS. Its a critical registry error

There are other ways to fix these errors but first you have to locate the source of the BSOD stop and then you might need to either replace missing data or dump data. Its simpler to just start over for most people. If you want to try to "fix" without reinstalling you will need to find someone with advanced knowledge to help. I am not qualified to dirrect something I cant see.

Sounds like an issue with your network stack. Probably due to embedded malware.

Run hijack this. Tell me the results and I will have a real opinion.
