Sorted. Thank you to all who contributed and commented. Ended up by doing a complete recovery from the recovery partition and then copying back all my personal info. Didn't realise I had so much crap on the machine.

Just watched Chic - fanbloodytastic.

Arrggghhhhhhhhhh *slumps over keyboard mumbling to himself*

Update. Used blue screen viewer as right clicking said. Managed to look at the minidump and in each of the dumps a .SYS file related to AVG anti virus was the common theme. Renamed it and rebooted and hooray, it worked. But now different set of problems. No more blue screens but can't do backups, can't do system restores, lost some drivers, can't download any new antivirus software. Getting mighty stressed over this now.

First thing I checked Foxy, but thanks. Now looking at complete restore from recovery partition. Only trouble is, can't do a backup as it fails every time.

Already done that Foxy. No difference. No driver name shown JohnL.

Already done but thanks for the suggestion. In my mind it all seems to be pointing towards a driver, but which one?

Running vista, had already done all that right clicking suggested. Have also already deleted anti virus. Nothing new installed lately.

By all that is holy I have the dreaded Blue screen of death on my laptop. It gives the error as 'Bad pool header' and googling said error points to driver problems. I have not installed anything recently, software or hardware. I was editing a Word document when it first occurred. Have tried a system restore several times with no success. Laptop will boot up in 'safe mode' OK but not 'full mode'. This is the machine I store all my business records on as well as some very special personal stuff that I couldn't bear to lose. Whilst the business stuff is backed up, some of the personal stuff isn't. I've done just about everything Google says and now I'm stuck. I can't read the minidumps as I can't download any debugging software. I am quite computer literate. Help me please!

And how much will they rip you off for that 'lifestyle' enhancement?

Shawshank or Hitch.

The love of my life.

Yeeehaaaa!

Ah, see what you mean now.

Sorry SJ don't understand.

They should hang the bastards that killed him.

Cyclists fart. That's pollution!

Mr Bean?

Not me then.

Is it me?

Random spraying results in random killing of other plants.

I have done. The examiner thought the parents did it.

I've always thought that the parents did it.
