If this is your problem, you should have a recent update to windows. If you do, try uninstalling it, or try to go back to a recent restore point.

Its true!

We bought my daughter a gateway laptop with T6600 and windows 7, 3-4 weeks ago from Amaz. model: nv5820u The system was used all week last week, during our thanksgiving vacation, 1100 miles from home. on Monday of this week the system did the BSOD dance. The system was used all week at thanksgiving, the system was used to watch dvd'd in the car on sat and sunday = monday crashed!

this is the events:

BSOD, auto recovery failed
system rolled back auto
os says: "system roll back failed" - but the system boot back up to the orginal settings on the next restart. no data lost. pesky norton tried to reload - norton should classified a virus!

So all orginal programs, including norton which we removed, other bloatware was reinstalled. By the way I build high systems, warpedsystems, so i know PC's - also have been subscriber to this magazine for a decade or so -on and off.

The bottom line is the rumor is true! By the way microsoft, this caused issues with office - our free trial will not work. My daughter was very frustrated last night as see could not get on line wireless and had to use another pc for office.

i smell a class action lawsuit!
