Default Re: Blue Screen after 15 secs...

Hi Fluid,

If you're seeing a crash in a certain VxD file (in your case, ctpci9x), I would try to figure out what application/device is using this VxD and see if you can disable it or remove it. I searched my systems and I don't see a driver file by that name, so I don't think it's a standard windows system file -- it must have come from something you installed.

You could use regedit to search for the name of the VxD and see if that gives you any clues as to the application/driver it belongs to, or you could use the Microsoft System Information tool (in Programs->Accessories->System Tools). Once you identify what that driver is used for, you could either try to get a newer version of the file (and hope the conflict has been fixed), or you could temporarily disable that driver (using a different hardware profile, or by uninstalling it).

As always, it's probably a good idea to backup your system before you start messing with driver files. I highly recommend "Ghost" for backing up system partitions.

Hope this helps.
