Yesterday I decided to use windows update and had it install .NET 1.1 and 2.0. On reboot I got a BSOD before the desktop loaded. In safe mode it was fine so had windows load last good configuration, removed .NET. Everything was fine again. Decided to download Vista RC1 and install that. On first boot of the OS got the BSOD again. Well, Vista comes bundled with .NET so that explains it. The BSOD is just a stop error and gives no indo as to what is causing it, just some numbers and letters that mean nothing to me. Anyone experience this before and know the cause? As for now I'm back to XP sans .NET.
