You're not whining. That blue screen has a code on it that you need to research on the MS knowledge base. I only pointed out some basic problems. However, and sorry to say this, but even when uninstalling CDcreator 4, there are some overwritten dll's left behind. One thing you might do is to reinstall win. I don't mean cleaning your drive, but in windows, run the setup program again. That may overwrite some of the dll's that Norton and Adaptec alter (these dll's are small programs that don't get removed because they are needed for other things and merely altered by the installation of Norton and Adaptec.) remember to back up. If you're blue followed by black screening, then I think your OS is in dire need of repair.
