Hi Joshua,
Thanks for responding to my problem. I tried your suggestions and it did
crash on reboot with the first 5 steps. Safe mode option page appeared
automatically so I tried the second suggestion at step 4 but got no blue
crash screen. Didn't get "DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION". PC rebooted
with send/don't send message for microsoft. When I powered down the stop
error STOP 0x0000008E came up again. Any other suggestions?

Thanks RS (Ron Soper)
