Installing AIR application gives blue screen of death

I tried installing an Adobe AIR application called HelloWorld.air from a book entitled "Adobe Flex 3 Training from the Source", and I would get the Windows' blue screen of death. I've seen others post about this, so I know I am not alone. My operating system is Windows XP Professional SP 2 and above.
This issue is preventing me from even getting into Adobe AIR application development, and I was wondering when a fix for this will be made. I tried downloading the Adobe AIR runtime again, but it is still the same byte size as the previous one I downloaded, so I'm assuming it's still the same one (since it doesn't state any version number).
Is there anyone who has had this problem and was eventually able to work with Adobe AIR? Any response would be immensely appreciated.
Thanks.

I remember when I was getting BSODs the first time I tried installing an
.AIR application on my laptop, I got that "Send Error Report" window from
Microsoft, and I had clicked to send it. It came back with a report stating
that this was being caused by anti-virus software. This time around, I
turned off my anti-virus software (from CA, or Computer Associates) I
downloaded your application and tried to install it, and once again, I only
got as far as where I could select to save an icon to my desktop and/or to
launch the application after install, and when I clicked the "Install"
button, I got the BSOD right away.
I went the extra mile this time though. I installed Adobe AIR and your
application on another desktop that is totally clean with absolutely no
antivirus software whatsoever, not even a software firewall. I got the same
BSOD at the exact same spot.
I know Adobe knows about this because of a past thread I had not only read,
but responded to as well. It's just unfortunate it hasn't been fixed yet
because I'm really raring to start writing Adobe AIR apps.
By the way, Damon, your app looks nice, I just wish I had been able to
install it to see what it's all about. Lastly, thank you for responding to
my issue. I will report this as a bug on that link you gave me.

Windows gives Blue screen of death when connect ipod

I have an ipod 20g and everytime i connect it to my 2.0 usb windows freezes gives me a blue screen and restarts

same problem here, also with a 20gb ipod. Mine also shuts the PC down on a disconnect of the ipod as well although this is less frequent.
I was using the USB2 ports on the front of my Dell but I've swithed them round now and am using a Firewire port on the back and touch wood it hasn't happened in the 2 days since I switched over.

Installed 7.4 on WinXP - Blue Screen of Death

I just installed iTunes 7.4 on my WinXP machine and when it rebooted after the install, I got the blue screen of death prior to getting into Windows. I tried rebooting again and got the same blue screen of death. I reverted back to the last sucessful bootup confoguration, but now iTunes does not work at all (even though Quicktime does work).
I do not have an old version of iTunes 7.3 so I'm wondering what to do next. I don't want to try to reinstall 7.4 again because I'm afraid it might again give me the blue screen and I might not be able to recover. I have not had a problem EVER with installing any other iTunes version (in the last 3 or 4 years) except this one.
Any suggestions on how to get iTunes back up working? Should I search for the 7.3 version somewhere (and any suggestions on where to find it would be helpful), or did the 7.4 install wipe out the possibility of installing 7.3 over it?
Tony

You can get old versions of iTunes here:
http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.htm
Uninstall 7.4 first you might even have to go through this, but I am not sure as 7.4 is so new:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
If you want to investigate the BSOD here is something to get you started:
Stop Messages
Post the exact error message. It should be some sort of numbers and text -
0x(zeros/letters/numbers) (CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
For example:
Stop 0x05 (INVALIDPROCESS_ATTACHATTEMPT)
Also is a file name mentioned in the error message? If so give the exact file name - this is important as it can really help sort out what's wrong.
if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), you can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear:
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Settings" button in the "Startup and Recovery" section
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

Blue screen of death while installing any Adobe Air application

Whenever I try to install an Air application I get a Blue Screen and then my system restarts.
I cannot even take a screenshot of it.
This happens with every air application I try to install.
I also searched for the same on Adobe forums and found the same problem being faced by someone else.
His problem was resolved by uninstalling a software named "Folder Lock".
I searched my hard disk for this software and found one, so I deleted that software (shift+delete) and removed all it's traces from registry too but that still doesn't solved the problem.
I also tried disabling the antivirus software and then install the air application but this also didn't helped.
I was able to install air applications earlier, but now I can't.
Anybody having same sort of problem. One colleague of mine is also having the same problem.
Please help me out.
My system's config is as follows:
Windows XP Home sp3
Flash Builder 4, with SDK 4.1, 3.5 installed in it.
Adobe Air v 2.5
1.5 GB RAM
1.66 MHz processor
Thanks

Hello chris,
Thank you for taking out your time to solve my problem.
I did all the steps mentioned in that link i.e. installed folder lock and uninstalled it from it's options only.
But it didn't solve my problem.
Here is the screenshot of the Blue Screen Of Death that I was presented while the application was being installed.
The BSOD appeared while the application install progress is shown to the end user.
I hope this will help you get more insight of the issue.
Thanks

Blue screen of death when installing Adobe Air

I'm trying to install Adobe Flash CS6 and Adobe Air along with it. About 10 seconds after pressing "install", my computer shows the blue screen of death for a split second, and then restarts.
To my knowledge, I do not have Folder Lock. I also cannot find any windrvNT.sys in the C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder, even after turning on the "show hidden files and folders" option.
Using Windows XP

Raymon_Zheng111 does your computer meet or exceed the system requirements for Flash CS6 listed at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-flash-professional.h tml#Flash%20Professional%20CS6%20system%20requirements.

Blue screen of death after installing Boot Camp on Windows 7

Hello and thanks for the help!
Brnad new user to Boot Camp here. After a new install of Windows 7, I install Boot Camp but then when rebooting Windows I get the blue screen of death. When letting Windows attempt a repair, it fails and I am forced to Recover Windows 7 to a state before I installed Boot Camp.
Help!?

Solution for this problem is simple. You have to apply Mac Book Air SMC Update 1.7 which you can do from Mac OS X with Software Update or you can download required update manually from Apple support site. If you don't use BootCamp and have installed Windows without it, you will have to boot Mac OS X from external drive just to apply required update. After you applied SMC update, you can boot to Windows and apply BootCamp update 3.2 and 3.3.
There is a known problem with Mac Book Air EFI Update 2.3, which you won't be able to apply and it will show in Software Update every time you check for updates. There is no solution for it yet.
You get BSOD if you have BootCamp 3.1 and Windows 7 SP1 installed and you have commited Windows update which will break applemtp.sys as your SMC firmware is too old. It applies to Windows 7 32 bit and 64 bit versions in BootCamp or native install.

Blue screen of death? I just updated my MacBook Air with the latest OX (25 Jun 11). When I restart - I get the Apple logo and then a blue screen and nothing else. Help!!!

Blue screen of death? I just updated my MacBook Air with the latest OX (25 Jun 11). When I restart - I get the Apple logo and then a blue screen and nothing else. Help!!!

Insert the install disk and press c on startup. Select your langauge then, if there's a menubar click utilities then click Disk Utility. If you didn't see the menubar continue with the installer until you see it.
Once in disk utitly select the drive and repair permissions.
After the repair is done, quit the utiltiy.
You can try to reboot and see if it works if you reboot, but if it doesn't repeat the same as before again.
Now you can continue with the installer and install the os.
Quit

Windows 7 (64) Blue Screen of Death at Start up after installing iTunes 10

I just got a brand new computer a week ago and decided to install iTunes 10 this evening. The install finished successfully and a message prompted me to restart to complete the installation. So I did. Now my machine will not boot. Each time it does, I get a blue screen of death. Attempting to restore the system fails.
I was able to start Windows in Safe Mode once but I wasn't able to uninstall programs while in safe mode so I couldn't remove itunes 10. And now I can no longer start my machine in Safe Mode.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas to solve it?

Windows 7 64 bit core i7
BSOD while updating to iTunes 10 with suspended installation of Apple Mobile Device Support. Network drivers no longer working as a result. Attempted fix by downloading from a different machine and competing install via files transferred over on flash drive. No dice. Attempted removal of iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Application Support, Apple Software Update to see if this would fix. Followed this up with a restart. This seems to have improved matters as system is starting up faster. No dice. Try reinstall network drivers from Sony ViaoCare disk. Installed and restarted. No dice. Next, try Widows 7 Network and Sharing diagnostics. No dice. Next try manual removal & reinstall of network driver using Device Manager, restart. Can't seem to re-install Network Controller. Still trying to solve this.

Blue Screen of Death when I try to install Leopard drivers.

So, I've been able to use Boot Camp to install Windows XP, SP 2 on my new 20-inch aluminum iMac. This is the same version (same disk, in fact) of Windows that I installed on my old 17-inch iMac, and it worked perfectly then.
After I finish the Windows installation, and put the Leopard disk in to install the drivers, nothing happens. No Autoplay. When I go into My Computer, and double-click on the cd, the installation process starts. After cycling through 4 drivers, I get the blue screen of death and the computer reboots.
When everything restarts, Windows tells me that I suffered an error. I can't send an error report off, because Windows won't acknowledge my wireless internet connection yet, without the Apple drivers.
I've tried to transfer the Boot Camp 2.1 update to the Windows partition via 2g flash drive, and no luck. Trying to run the update doesn't do anything, the icon simply lights up for a moment and then un-highlights. Nothing happens.
I'm really confused, I didn't have ANY problems like this on my last iMac. Any help anyone might have would be greatly appreciated.

There IS another way to try this.
Boot to Windows and right-click My Computer or My Documents and open as "explore". Insert the Leopard disk. If it offers to install STOP it. Click on the LEFT side the plus sign next to the machine's DVD drive icon (the reason we opened the "explore" style directory). The Boot Camp files are now passive but exposed. Next right click My Computer and click properties. Next hardware and then device manager. Now you can one-by-one install the drivers using Windows hardware wizard. You might even want to drag the contents of the Leopard disk (drivers) right on to your (Windows) "desktop". In device manager open Human Interface Devices - you will find Apple Keyboard or whatever an iMac has there. Rightclick and hit Update Driver - the Wizard opens. Click 'no - not this time' and continue. Click 'install from a specific location' and continue. Next the Wizard gives you a 'browse location' option. Just click around until you locate the Boot Camp drivers in your disk or desktop and proceed - it will update, I promise you.

Blue screen of Death!!! after 7.7.1 install

After installing itunes 7.7.1 I was prompted for a restart. So I restarted my computer and got the blue screen of death. Then it restarted it self again and now it doesn't even show the windows loading bar!
Swinson Terry

Finally found someone else with the similar issue to myself. I also foolishly allowed the iTunes 7.7 update to download and was prompted to restart. However, unlike you I chose to restart later, but incredibly 2 minutes later I got a brief message advising that the system had to restart and with no further warning my desktop shut down whilst I still had other applications open. Now I get the DOS prompt advising that Windows had an error and I get the Startup options for 'Safe Mode' 'Last Known Good Config.' 'Start Windows Normally' etc, but whichever option I take Windows freezes at the XP logo stage.
I am running Windows XP Home Edition on a Dell Dimensions 4400.
So far, I have tried loading the Recovery disks, but as I have read in many other discussion threads the iTunes updates seems to have also disabled the DVD and CD/RW drives so I am somewhat screwed! Have now resorted to removing the Hard drive and connecting to my laptop externally in an attempt to reverse changes. Sadly, have not been able to trace any changes to SYSTEM 32 files yet.
Any suggestions from other parties greatly welcomed.

Blue Screen of Death on install of j2re-1_4_2_04-windows-i586-p.exe

Immediately upon installing j2re-1_4_2_04-windows-i586-p.exe, I get the "blue screen of death" on Windows 2000, indicating memory dump. Applications do not work subsequently that use j2re. Attempts to modify in reinstallation indicate errors in Windows installer. Don't know what to do.

Immediately upon installing
j2re-1_4_2_04-windows-i586-p.exe, I get the "blue
screen of death" on Windows 2000This is the usual symptom of a video driver problem.
Make sure you have all the latest service packs for Win2K installed, and for good measure, visit your graphics card vendor's site and get the latest drivers from there.

Blue Screen of Death on iPad Air Video

Hi All,
Like many, I received a shiny new iPad air on Christmas morning!
I unboxed my new pride and joy and dutifully set about getting myself all set up and installing the usual apps.
All was going well until it crashed and rebooted.I thought nothing of it at first, but then it happened again and again and again.
Since Unboxing it has crashed 30 or 40 times and has now taken to crashing then rebooting into the ‘Blue screen of death’!!
After I have forced the iPad to reboot from the BSOD, it then boots into the apple logo but as you can see below all is not right.
I have tried restoring and installing a fresh version of 7.0.4 via iTunes and starting over as a new user, but still the BSOD returns.
I have linked to the video below to show my BSOD in action....
Any ideas guys n gals?

Windows 7 - Blue screen of death after Boot Camp install

Hello! I have done some searches with no answers, so...
After installing Windows 7 from scratch I then install Boot Camp 3.0 which then leads to the Windows blue screen of death upon reboot. I then have to recover Windows to the previous state prior to installing Boot Camp.
Help!?

Most likely, Apple HFS read-only, which is AppleHFS.sys and AppleMNT.sys - rename those and see.
You might want to run chkdsk after all this to make sure there are no errors with the drive and file system.
Windows Explorer will not accept HFS+ filenames with special characters and will "green bar" and hang when it does, too.
The faulty HFS driver is a valid concern.
Rename AppleHFS.sys and AppleMNT.sys
By doing the following you will disable HFS mount / read mode on windows XP, Vista, 7.
Navigate to c:/windows/system32/drivers/AppleMNT.sys, rename the AppleMNT.sys file to something like AppleMNT_keep.sys or something of your likings.
The faulty HFS driver is a valid concern. It seems to happen on many systems.
You find it in Windows/system32/drivers/AppleHFS.sys
Renaming to AppleHFS_disabled.sys will avoid the blue screens until you have found another solution or Apple updates Bootcamp 3
After renaming both myself because they are no longer "*.sys" or something? they are gone. In my case AppleHFS prevented Windows Backup from running to end and was causing error "some files skipped" and while some might find reading convenient, I prefer Windows not have even read-only access.
You can probably do better with MacDrive, or probably Paragon's HFS driver, to read AND write if needed, to HFS from Windows.

Windows blue screen of death crash during Boot Camp driver install

I have been trying to get Windows running under Boot Camp on my 2.66 GHz Alu iMac, but without success.
Boot Camp partitions the drive and Windows XP SP2 installs properly. I boot into Windows, and then insert my Leopard install DVD to install the Apple drivers.
The driver installation gets about halfway, then the machine crashes with a blue screen of death and restarts automatically. It puts me back in Windows, with no drivers installed.
I am installing the Boot Camp drivers from the Leopard retail DVD. This machine is missing the Leopard install/restore discs that came with it, and Apple want to charge £99 for a replacement set.
Is there any way I can get the Boot Camp drivers installed, or do I need to find a friend with the exact same machine and original system discs and use those?

Aloha Adam.
Don't know whether this is helpful, but below is a list of drivers that are installed (as of Aug 08).
Also, if you have not already, you may find FAQ helpful, as well, at URL: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1656
Lastly, though they're a year old, the Update 2.1 is in .exe format, so if you can get it the .exe download package onto your installed Windows OS somehow (e.g., copied onto a CD, IF Windows can read it), you might stand a chance of alternate means of installing the drivers.
If this helps, please so indicate.
Thanks,
