Ok, tried that website, and it doesn't work. I'm having the same problem
that everyone else is having. Random Blue Screen dumps with a pretty new PC
with all the latest SP's. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it,
but when I move my laptop around a lot, it tends crash more often. I'm going
to try replacing my RAM. Any other suggestions?
