    Is there a commandline safe mode?
    I am not sure how I restart my computer in safe mode do I reboot while pressing the f8 key?

    Almost. Keep tapping F8 key, when computer restarts.

    OK
    instructions 1 and 2 of your post # 25 (of this thread) works now. I had to do instruction number 1 in the safe mode like you said.
    I am having trouble following your instruction 3. Edit the registry. I have taken a screenshot of my registry.
    Does it look as you would expect it to. Can you change your instruction per this picture?

    You use it like Windows Explorer.
    HKLM stands for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, so you have to expand that key, then expand Software, then Classes, and so on....

    Great
    Your picture made things very clear. I accomplished all the registry editing.
    I wonder if I could have done as well with a software registry cleaner?

    thanks loads

    I don't recommend registry cleaners at all unless you're computer super-savvy.
    One wrong move, and your computer won't boot.

    The WhoCrashed software you recommended works beautifully on my 64-bit system coming up with the same drivers as causing the problem as you did with virtually no work on my part. It downloads all the required Microsoft's software additions it works with. I found out something very interesting though. I was a bit hesitant to buy it, so I search for freeware using the search terms "Crash-Dump freeware x64" and found a link that apparently gives you the same software in a home addition that is freeware. This is the WhoCrashed freeware link.

    Well if one should not use registry cleaners unless you are an expert, which I am not, it begs another question. Can I use what you did as a template for all the places you have to go to in the registry to clean the registry after you eliminated a driver that is crashing your computer? Also this process you used to eliminate this driver the same every time. If these things I'm not the case it would also beg the question is there a place you could read how to do it or software, preferably freeware, that will do this for you?

    There is no way to tell.
    However, Autoruns is a perfect tool to see where orphaned registry entries are located.
