I'm also getting the dreaded Blue Screen Of Death when I boot into Windows

This happened right after I upgraded to the most recent version of iTunes. Everytime I initially boot the computer, it would get into Windows, crashes immediately, then my system reboots and I'm able to get into windows no problem.
Reading the help section it says to go and download & reinstall the previous version of iTunes. Ok simple enough, but where on earth can I find the previous version?? The link it provides takes me to the latest version. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place?
Can someone please direct me to where I can download the previous version?
Thanks very much.

Hi,
Thanks very much for the reply. I'm glad somebody was able to give me this information!
So I went to the website and I downloaded 8.0.0.35, BUT when I tried to install it, I got an error message that said: "A later version of iTunes is already installed on this computer."
I'm afraid if I uninstall my current iTunes, then I will lose all my playlists and stuff. There's no way to just install the old version on top of the new one? If no, is that the proper procedure to uninstall first and then reinstall?
Thanks.

    Thanks Jeremy,
    I'm afraid that it seems to have gone beyond help at this stage and my laptop is currently sat on a workbench at Apple  :-(
    I must say that I am more than a little disappointed.  I bought into Apple for quality and reliability and now I am sat here on my wifes Windows PC because an Apple update has gone bad.
    I certainly hope this isn't the first sign of decline of the Apple brand. The Apple product costs a lot, but up until now the quality and dependability has been the overriding reason to pay the extra money. My wife has always been sceptical, and this incident has not furthered my cause to get a new MAC when the PC dies. Shame.
    I too am now wondering how far Apple are prepared to dilute their identity to squeeze into the Microsoft market.... remember Apple, you are bigger than that. You are cash rich for a reason and you are are only as good as your last big success: look at Nokia!
    Thanks again

  • Blue screen of death when La Cie external firewire drive connected

    I tested a LaCie external firewire drive on my iMac and it worked fine. I packed it up well and posted it to a friend who gets the blue screen of death when the LaCie is connected to her iMac. She's not even trying to boot from it.
    My iMac is 9.1  and hers is 8.1.  We are both running Snow Leopard.  Was there some problem once upon a time with chipsets or am I mis-remembering?
    TIA

    Create an ISO (Encore) or folder on your hard drive (Encore or Premiere Elements) and then use the FREE http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download to write files or folders or ISO to disc for DVD or BluRay (send the author a PayPal donation if you like his program)
    Imgburn will read the ACTUAL disc brand from the disc, which is not always the same as the box label (Memorex is notorious for buying "anything" and putting it inside a Memorex box)
    When you write to disc with Imgburn, use the SLOWEST possible speed setting, so your burner has the best chance to create "good, well formed" laser burn holes... since no player is required to read a burned disc, having a "good" one from a high quality blank will help

  • Blue Screen of Death When Plugging in Ipod Touch 4g

    Hello,
    Im reciving blue screen of death when I plug in my ipod touch 4g. I have updated itunes, Drivers, This happens every time and I suspect it happens when my computer says found new hardware reconizing the ipod as a camera because once I pluged my ipod in and it didn't pop up found camera hardware and it worked. So does anyone know how to fix this or disable my comp from reconizing the ipod as a camera? Thanks in advance
    p.s im using XP service pack 3

    have u tried pluging an other usb (eg mp3 or mem stick) it to ur compuer? is it doing it with these?
    if its only doing this with ur ipod try the following
    1 go to start menu and in the search box type in usb
    look for device manager
    2. open the disk drives and plug in ipod touch and removeable disk should show up
    3, try usb drives updates
    because the ipod has a camera most older computers running xp think its a camera,
    if u have and usb mem stick copy ur itunes folder on to it and copy it to a computer running vista or windows 7 and c it its doing it on one of them, if its doing it on one them there may be other hardware isues with ur ipod touch

  • Blue screen of death when syncing verizon I phone

    I receive a blue screen of death when I try to sync my I phone 4 with I tunes on my laptop. The initial sync went fine, I am connected to my Exchange server for email and have downloaded CD's to I Tunes, when I try to sync...blue screen. I have run registry fix and virus programs and have no errors. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    The first response was correct, the computer (xps 1210) used a logitech camera driver that I did not recognize so I deleted it. The software was still active and crashed the computer. Fix was reinstall logitech software and driver. Updating the driver would have probably worked. Thank you!

  • Satellite A105-S4284 gets Blue Screen of Death when coming out of standby

    MySatellite A105-S4284 runnings Windows XP gets a BSOD after coming out of standby or hibernation. With standby, I'll see the login screen where I enter my password, and then it may show the desktop background or even the open app (Outlook or Word, typically) for a second, afterwhich the BSOC appears. For weeks I was getting a black screen sporadically after standby. Researched the problem and saw recommendations to update BIOS. So I updated the BIOS to the latest version, and then I started getting blue screens of death rather than a black screen. Thought the problem was McAfee, because I'd get crashes right after McAfee became active in the background, sometimes without going into standby. Cancelled McAfee, took it off with the cleaner, used Avast instead, and that seemed to help. But then BSODs came back. I uninstalled non-essential software, clearned registry with CC Cleaner, freed up more HD space and defragged, ran SpyBot, etc - but I still get the BSOD almost every time I go into standby or hibernate. 
    The stop messages on the BSOD don't show a driver. and all begin with 0x0000007E (0x000000C5, ... and then differ after that.  One recent one followed with 0x804E13D5, 0xAA6B9B8C, 0xAA6B9888). Does that mean anything?
    I've installed Microsoft's debugging tools to look at the dumps after a BSOD. Here is output for two recent crashes. Doesn't point to a driver. NTKRMLMP.exe is what crashes - do I need to replace that from the I386 folder somehow? I did have my Matsu**bleep**a DVD-CD drive suddenly quit a time or two until the computer was restarted. Should I reinstall the DVD driver? Or the graphics driver? Worried that I might break something by doing that.

    In safe mode it is not possible to standby. That is disabled. Tried to make it possible with Toshiba's power control service, but it is not available. 
    In a new account, the BSOD still occurs. I created a new account, logged out of my account, and went to the new one. Tried standby. It came out of standby for a second and then had the blue screen of death. 
    In checking the event manager, I seen errors shortly before crashes sometimes that involve the CD.
    So I went to Toshiba.com and downloaded the DVD RAM driver and ran it, reinstalling the driver, and then restarted.  I also saw that there was C-Dilla driver in my drivers. I uninstalled the SafeCast program that I think is associated with C-Dilla, moved the C-Dilla driver out of the drivers to a distant folder, unchecked C-Dilla in MSCONFIG so it won't load (it was still there after removing SafeCast), and then reinstarted. So with a new DVD Ram driver and neutering, I hope, of C-Dilla, I tried things again and the system appeared to be crash free - better than it had been. But then a crash occurred - BSOD - and upon restart, the CD locked up, and crashed again. 
    After restarting, there was a new dialog that popped up after Windows launched indicating that there had been an error with SONIC DLA. Before the crash, there was an event n the event viewer:
    My last error comes from the Plug and Play Manager:
    The device 'MAT**bleep**A DVD-RAM UJ-841S' (IDE\CdRomMAT**bleep**A_DVD-RAM_UJ-841S________________1.60____\5&226f6cf2&0&0.0.0) disappeared from the system without first being prepared for removal.
    Hmmm. So things are still vulnerable. Any ideas? Buy new CD drive? Or new computer?

  • Why is Encore 6.0 giving me the "blue screen of death" when I try to create a menu?

    When I purchased my student edition 6.0 (which I love by the way), Encore did not have any of the libraries loaded up on it. After reading some discussions, I downloaded the missing folders.
    Now, when I try to create a menu, my computer shuts down and gives me "the blue screen of death" as they call it (a blue screen with white writting, counting up to 100%, and saying Windows is preparing to crash...or something about the hard drive crashing....I can't remember because it goes off the screen so quickly).
    I've done this several times - my computer only does this when I try to create a menu in encore, and not in any other part of encore. It hasn't happened in any of the other programs either (Premiere Pro and Audition are the only other programs I have used so far), or any other times I have my laptop.
    Because of this, I am not too concerned since it seems Encore is the problem. However, I do not want any other problems to escalade from this either.
    Am I doing something wrong? Can someone please help me? I'm working on my Senior Thesis (a video) this year, and I really really cannot afford to have my computer crash on me.
    Please and thank you,
    Meghin

  • Blue Screen of Death When opening iTunes.

    I am at a loss. For the past six months I have been trying to figure out why my computer has a blue screen of death and then restarts "nearly" everytime i open iTunes. The "nearly" is what's driving me nuts because every once in a while it will open ONCE and then start crashing again. I don't even do anything to help it open it just miraculously works every now and then. It even craches the comp when starting iTunes in safe mode. The blue screen error says "Page Fault in non-paged area". iTunes worked fine for months before this randomly started happening. I have tried every solution I have seen, even ones that weren't for my problem. So far I have:
    Manually uninstalled iTunes and QT and reinstalled the standalone QT then iTunes.
    Disabled itunes helper and ipod service before starting.
    Disabling all other services and start-up items.
    Installed current bios and drivers (as far as I can tell)
    Installed current windows installer.
    Updated microsoft products including .net
    Updated Java runtime environment
    Replaced ram
    I have a pentium 4 1.6ghz with soyo mobo and a RAID card(mirrior) set-up. 1 gig of pc133 ram. I can ul the minidump if needed.
    I figured out how to load my podcasts on my ipod manually but I want to get a video ipod so I need itunes. PLEASE HELP!!
      Windows XP  

    there's a few more things worth checking on. but let's also capture a minidump of the crash and send it to someone who can interpret minidumps.
    To set up your machine to capture a minidump, right click on "My Computer", select "Properties", select the "Advanced" tab, select the "Startup and Recovery" Settings button, select "small memory dump" from the popup. When it crashes, look for the MiniDump file. It's usually in the folder "C:\WINDOWS\Minidump" and is called something like Mini<number>-<number>.dmp.
    send it to this email address
    in the email, put the URL to this discussion thread, so that whoever gets it has some context. Also give as much information about the context of the crash (in the email) as you can.

  • Blue Screen of death - now can't load Windows (even in safe mode)

    Last night laptop (Satellite L500 19Z; Win 7 64 bit) crashed whilst playing CIV4. Got a blue screen of death; before I had chance to read any of the error messages on it the machine rebooted.
    It loaded windows in safe mode fine then, and informed me as it had loaded safe mode OK the problem will be related to some recently installed software and I should uninstall programs I'd installed until it would load normally. As it was late last night I shut down and thought I'd sort it in the morning (in retrospect this may have been a mistake ....).
    Today, when the machine tries to boot up it attempts a Startup Repair; unfortunately this fails every time and it says "Startup repair has tried several times but still cannot detemine the cause of the problem"
    I looked at the log it produces but it passes all the individual tests.
    I also can't access the advanced options for system recovery & support, which appears on the Startup Repair dialog box as it demands I be logged in, which apparently I'm not (presumably as the machine never got to the windows login screen before trying the startup repair). The error message reads "you must be logged in to access system recovery options. If you are having trouble logging in please contact your computer administrator for assistance. please click OK to restart the computer."
    I've had a go at booting into the various advanced options (safe mode, safe mode with command prompt etc. but the outcome is the same).
    I also tried the Repair your Computer option from the advanced boot options screen, but after the screen where it asks you to choose the language and keyboard, I get the same login error mentioned above.
    Is there a way to repair or even run the hard disk based windows recovery (haven't got the recovery DVD with me as I'm away from home for a couple weeks) without logging into windows? I would have expected there to be but have yet to figure out how to do it.
    (there are no disks in the disk drive, no other devices attached to the laptop - I've tried it with mains power and with the battery and have not noticed any differences)
    Thanks
    James

    Normaly the reinstall data is on a separate part on your HD, not in Windows.
    The register is only used for Windows.
    If it doesn't work you can always try to reinstall from a DVD later.
    It does mean all your data on C:\ will be gone. If you can hook your HD on an other PC you can try to safe your work with a recover prog.

  • Blue Screen of Death when calling skype on iphone/...

    Every time i call a person on skype on iphone or s6 (i think any smartphone) my computer crashes and causes blue screen of death. i have windows 8.1 running and this also happened on win 8. i have tried uninstalling, clean installing, deleting all old files of skype and then installing but nothing has worked. 
    on aside, when i get a call from another desktop skype as well, invariably, i cant connect the call at first attempt. clicking on accept does nothing and it will continue rining. even clicking on reject does not work after. the only option is to kill skype from task manager and then restart it. it then works fine for first call i make. it then has similar issue on later calls. not neccessarily the 2nd call. its regular but also random in nature. 
    i have not idea what is the problem. do you?
    skype version 7.5.0.102

    Your Realtek camera drivers are crashing.  Make sure you have the latest drivers installed for your video card and camera.  If the problem continues to occur update the camera drivers to the generic Microsoft camera drivers that come with the OS.  Steps on how to update to those drivers are covered in the below graphic:

    Hi, when programming under labwindows the software crashes cvi, and windows NT and i get the blue screen of death...usually every hr or so. I checked the hw config and there are no conflicts.

  • Blue screen of death when building blu-ray in Encore CS6

    I recently purchased a new laptop and installed Adobe Master Collection CS6.  I purchased the laptop for video capture and editing, as well as for blu-ray authoring. 
    Unfortunately, although the computer and software works fine for video capture and editing, I am unable to author a blu-ray.  For authoring, I am using Adobe’s Encore CS6.  After checking and previewing my creation, I attempt to build to disc using Encore.  About 2 seconds after clicking the build disc in Encore, I get the “blue screen of death” (BSOD).  This happens every time I try to build to blu-ray (only blu-ray has this issue; I am able to build to a DVD).  I am using an external blu-ray drive on USB 3.0.  
    I am using Encore version 6.0.0.492

    Create an ISO (Encore) or folder on your hard drive (Encore or Premiere Elements) and then use the FREE http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download to write files or folders or ISO to disc for DVD or BluRay (send the author a PayPal donation if you like his program)
    Imgburn will read the ACTUAL disc brand from the disc, which is not always the same as the box label (Memorex is notorious for buying "anything" and putting it inside a Memorex box)
    When you write to disc with Imgburn, use the SLOWEST possible speed setting, so your burner has the best chance to create "good, well formed" laser burn holes... since no player is required to read a burned disc, having a "good" one from a high quality blank will help

  • 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,
