Blue Screen in Vista and not in Windows 7? - HTML Forums

Has anyone tried Windows 7 yet? Let's cut to the chase. I got the Blue Screen of Death several times with Vista. Several times I got it because Vista did not allow for multiple virus detection programs being on one machine at the same time (they did not even have to be running). And now I am having a huge headache. I am getting the BSOD for seemingly just going through a collection of possible fonts that I might want to install. It seems there is a limit to the number of font windows you can have at the same time.

So naturally I am wondering what is next? And naturally I am wondering if really truly these problems are fixed with Windows 7.

you should never run more than one virus scanner, they will always conflict with each other. That is the nature of the beast.

for the BSOD, sorry, I have had Vista for over a year and never seen a BSOD. I have not played with Windows 7 yet but I here it is a lot better. You getting BS)D when it is still in its infacny is not a wonder. But because you have so many fonts? I find that hard to believe.

There is your problem in bold, those "multiple virus detection programs" are conflicting with each other. They are the source of your problem, not Windows Vista.
