BSOD at startup (Help a gal out now!)

Hi there, i tried to do everything as said in the instruction of posting a BSOD but i wasn't able to do the perfmon /report thing.

Almost every time i started my computer a BSOD appeared saying that there was a driver conflict of a kind and i should use driver verifier to do something... I did that and now I'm hanging out in safe mode. Could you please help me with my problem, and see what is the conflict about and how to make it all good again.

I'm using a Dell 1557 studio, with an i7 and the operating system is windows 7 ultimate 32 bit.

Don't know what else to say, sorry.

With regards.

Please remove any CD visualization programs such as Daemon Tools and Alcohol 120%. You have a variant of this.

They use a driver, found in your dmp, called sptd.sys, that is notorious for causing BSODs.

Use this SPTD uninstaller DuplexSecure - Downloads DuplexSecure - FAQ

when you're done you can use this Freeware:

MagicISO Virtual CD/DVD-ROM in its place

did all those steps and it didn't help. A the uninstallation tool needed to work in normal mode but i was unable to boot in that. So i decided to take the easy way out and formated my C drive and just reinstalled windows. 1:0 Me vs. sptd.sys
Thanks for your help!

Good for you. Clean installs are often the fastest easiest way to get rid of problems.
