A different cause of BSoD this time?
In answer to recent my https://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-d...-internet.html post KenJ+ kindly told me that the dmp file indicated that a BSoD appeared as though it could have been caused by an HdAudio.sys issue. As Device manager indicated that my High Definition Audio Device (HDAD) had up-to-date drivers and I also had up-to-date drivers for my installed SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI card I hoped to address the issue by disabling the HDAD.
That may have worked but I have just had a BSoD caused by netio.sys, although I'm not quite sure what that is - perhaps the attached dmp file will allow some kind person to give me a clue as to what netio.sys is/does and if there is a potential cure for this particular BSoD - no doubt there will be future BSoD for other reasons, although with XP I never experienced that phenomenon!
From other posts I gather that some posters believe that ZoneAlarm might be the cause of the netio.sys problems but taht is not universal and in any case I am reluctant to dump it as I recently subscribed to it for another year, not having had problems with it under XP; the version I run is ZoneAlarm Extreme Security v. 9.0.114.000 with ZA Forcefield v. 1.5.36.15. (NB in case it is relevant I also run Spyware Doctor v. 7.0.0.508.)
