haiz this afternoon, i was playing my PC game n all of the sudden the game froze n the dreaded blue screen appears. I restarted my laptop and while in the Windows XP loading screen, the blue screen appears again.
i went ahead to use my laptop recovery CD to restore it. I managed to reinsitall Windows Xp.
Everything was normal until i reinstall the game using the game's CD. N halfway through the installation the blue screen appear again...
Wad could have been the problem? Is the CD corrupted n caused the blue screen or isit the diskdrive or harddisk?

Can you re-enact the error and post the full error message here? Anty will be back to decipher the MS chim-chim gibberish when she returns from her outing.

urrggh thats the prob i didnt managed to take down the error msg.
But anyway i ran a scandisk to check for any errors. restarted my lappy n run scandisk. The problem now is the scandisk stop halfway at 32%. Before that there are some errors than scandisk had fixed but when it reached 32%, it stopped.

1st... try to update your computer, especially all the hardware drivers
Next... update the game
If none works... it's the anti-whatever driver that is almost always the cause of trouble.as in windows update? i tried windows update n the whole lappy froze. wadever i do be it scan disk, windows update it cant be completed.
wad do u mean by hardware drivers n how do i update it?
i am not concern with my game, just hoping that my lappy is fine

Select Hardware tab
Click on Device Manager
These particular drivers need to be updated
1. Sound
2. Video (or graphics card)
Just right click on it and select Update Driver
