I had a weird problem tonight, freaked me out.

I hooked up my bluetooth adapter to transfer some stuff to my phone. Everything seemed ok. I fired up my skype and was talking to a friend when the screen froze. I rebooted but when it came back up it gave me a BSOD. I was a bit puzzled but rebooted.

It kept on doing it. Heart rate increased…

I was beginning to think I might be ordering new computer parts but on a webpage I found some guy mentioned removing hardware parts just in case, if you’d added something. I thought that the only thing I had added was the bluetooth adapter, so I removed it, rebooted and it came up fine.

So it was the Belkin Bluetooth adapter, giving me the acpi.sys BSOD, on Windows 7. Watch out for it.

Well I did it, I nearly buggered up Windows 7, or my install of it at least.

On my Windows XP install I had a multiple-IE program installed so I could look at web pages in past versions. I installed it on the Windows 7 install, wouldn’t work so I removed it.

This morning I rebooted, then tried to access things like, My Computer, Control Panel etc and I got an error – No such interface. Uh oh. I searched around and there were these long winded processes, but one guy just simply said, let Windows 7 repair it. I thought, hmm, ok I’ll try it.

Whaddya know, the Microsoft boys did a really good job on this OS. It repaired it, fixed issues no problem, here we are all shiny and brand new. Windows 7 really is a good package, far better than any other OS they’ve produced.
