Vulture Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I keep gettin an error that says "Windows has encountered a critical problem and will restart in one minute. Please save your work now" At one point this was a never ending loop that would keep popping up after restart. Brought it to the Geek Squad and had a new spysweeper installed, that reduced it a little, brought it in again and they "optimised" it . That reduced it a little more. Installed a registry cleaner and new anti virus and that has reduced a little more. But it still pops up when a new user logs on. This started happening one year after i bought it, when all the junk you had installed startes expiring. Vista 32 bit. I'm assuming it's a software problem but can someone point me in the right direction. Because when i go into Best Buy now all the Geek Squad guys run into the girls bathroom.

AikiDale Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I had that problem with Vista Home Premium, the OEM version. I bought a vanilla copy, reformatted and installed without all the OEM garbage and have been happy ever since. YMMV. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Bell Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Does sound a bit like sasser With the long term issues you've had I would back up email, favs, files, etc and reload from scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
