    Is there a program called SFC to fix regisitry errers?

    I thought this may be what I can run to help me with my Blu screen when I go between my 2. accounts?

    I read on the net but do not know how to get it.

    It says
    It says.

    A12MDD.D11
    PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGEED_AREA

    And then the system restarts.

    The only thing it says other then that is

    IF YOU HAVE ADED NEW HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE TO THE SYSTEM PLEASE CONNTECT THE ADMINISTRATOR.

    But I have not changed anything or aded anything.
    Thanks

    I don't know what fast user switching is?

    I have my win7. Home 64 Bit set to Clasic Style.

    And when I go to switch user accounts I go to Start Switch user and then go to the other account.
    And even if I go to start then Log Off then Log onto the other account it happens.

    What is fast switching?

    Fast user switching = Switch user. No FUS = logout then login from the choose user screen.

    When you do the log off, log on tango, at exactly what point does the BSOD occur?

    Can you copy the latest minidumps from Windows\Minidump to your Desktop then zip them and attach the resulting zip file please?

    How do you have it keep the windows Dump?

    And can I have it save it to Desktp?

    No, it's not recommended to save to Desktop, copying it there is easy though ;)

    Details here and here (and many other places).

    I whent to try to see if my Change How Users Switch is set in contrale Pannel and under user accounts is nothing for this.

    And I see online that win7. and vista needs something for Fast Switching.

    But win xp I had and did this all the time.

    Can it be because I have it set to win Clasic Style and not Basic?

    Yes, it might be,

    The reason I wanted to know about Fast User switching was that I'm trying to visualize exactly where the problem happens so that I can rule out certain things and hopefully concentrate on the problem more easily.

    I need to know exactly when the BSOD happens and I also need to see those dumps.

    I whent into
    c:/windows/windump/
    and it was empty nothing was in it.

    And yes I have it set to save Dumps.

    But I do have my Performance Settings set to
    Ajust For Best Perfomance.
    And it made every check Box Blank.

    And it set windows to Clasic Style.

    Is any of this a help?

    It happens if I go between user accounts more then 3. times and now it happens even more.

    It might be of some help, yes.

    If you run some disk-cleaning tools (like CCleaner, etc.), you may be removing the dumps - don't use them until we can get closer to why this is happening.

    Having the Performance settings that way has that effect, yes ;)

    Can you delete and recreate the Paging file please, instructions here. Then test switching users a few times.

    If you followed the steps listed in #14 and you still get the problem, the next stage is to rule out memory problems:
    For details go here at Carrona.org. Burning an image to disc at Caliban's tutorials will be useful to you, as will Memtest86+ and ImgBurn.

    This test will need to be run for 7+ passes, if you get any fail, the memory will need to be tested per stick and each memory slot will also need to be tested.

    To use System File Checker:

    Go to Start menu > Run.
    Enter the following: SFC.EXE /SCANNOW (make sure there is a space between SFC.EXE and /SCANNOW). This initiates the Microsoft utility that will scan and repair problems with protected system files on your computer.
