Windows 7: BSOD on file browse, error 0x0000001e

Hi, I was hoping someone may be able to help me with a BSOD error that I am getting. It appears to happen when I try to browse to open a file in an application. For example, when attaching files to this post, if I click on the 'browse' button to open the file I wish to attach the BSOD appears. I can drag and drop the file from Windows Explorer into the attach files popup successfully though. Other instances have been trying to browse to attach a file to an email in Thunderbird and also trying to browse to open a stored database in MS Access.

I am using an Acer Aspire X5900
- Intel i5 650 @ 3.20Ghz CPU
- 8GB RAM
- Windows 7 64 bit
- Nvidia GeForce GT320

Any assistance to resolve this BSOD would be most appreciated.

Related to Kernel Security Support Provider Interface (kscdd.sys) which is an OS file. I would do two things

First run a system file check

Run a system file check to verify and repair your system files.
To do this type cmd in search, then right click to run as administrator, then
SFC /SCANNOW

Read here for more information SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

Let us know the results from the report at the end.


Second, I would run the update readiness tool and update to SP-1


Ensure you install the correct 64 or 32bit option for your system)

Download the System Update Readiness Tool (64bit)
Download the System Update Readiness Tool (32bit)

Thanks very much for your help
I ran the SFC /SCANNOW and that completed with no problems listed.

I downloaded and installed the update readiness tool.

I then went to Windows Updates to get SP1 and got the following error
Windows Update encountered an unknown error C0000022

I also have the issue where I have a Windows not genuine error in the bottom right corner of the screen so I went to activate Windows and got a similar error message, and it appears that Auto Updates has not worked for quite a while.

If possible could you advise or point me toward a forum entry that might help me to get SP1 installed.
