This is very odd. I'm using XP SP1 with the Update Rollup. Whenever I try to view a network share in XP, XP will freeze requiring a restart. Whenever I try to view XP's shares from another machine, I can see them, but any file operations result in XP blue screening.

This is truely baffling. It never did this before. It started recently. It actually started after I installed SP2. At first I thought it was SP2, but after having wiped the machine and putting SP1 back on, it's still doing it.

I've done a virus scan and my system is clean, as is my entire network (3 machines and server).

Has anyone had this problem before, or know how to remedy it? Or better: do you know WHY it's happening?

Thanks.

Nic card gone awry?

enough to cause a BSOD?

Run into it once before on a gentlemans Dell.

nic cards, the source of trouble for one of my systems for who-knows-how-many-times

Driver update? Driver Genius

ahhh...The driver backup feature is the one I've been looking for to get all my updated drivers in the cd.

wow, yeah that is a slick program, i just wish it was freeware. oh well.

wait! Opon installing, the program wants to install to a folder called "Mydriver" I read on halfdone.com that my driver is acutally a rip of a freeware of WinDriverBackup. The author of My Driver actually ripped another program too: http://www.halfdone.com/SOTW/UnknownDevicesRip/

EDIT: The author of WinDriverBackup seems to have sold it to another company...
