Re: Blue screen on HP AMD laptop with antivirus: camc6hal.sys

Hi Richard,

Thanks for taking the time to write, for your comment certainly forces me to
sharpen my writing. What I meant to say was that since the letters "HAL" were
embedded in the driver name, that perhaps that driver was related to the
hardware in one degree or another.

As far as the virus scanning, I actually did a virus scan with both Norton
and with McAfee (no viruses were found). The BSOD occurs after the Norton and
after the McAfee applications are installed and then the PC is rebooted. (As
long as you don't reboot, it's not a problem; although with a laptop one may
have to reboot more often than not.)

So, if anyone reading this post has any knowledge about the mystery driver
(camc6hal.sys) I would appreciate hearing. Googling and the Microsoft
Knowledge base show nothing.
