A friend suggested I put on a package called Ad-Aware, since then I get a
blue screen on start-up. The codes have been different on 4 consecutive
days:

Tuesday:
***STOP: 0x0000007E (0xF7AB135C, 0xF7C45FA4, 0xF7C45CA0)
***PCIIDEX.SYS - address F7AB135C base at F7AAF000, Datestamp 41107b4c

Wednesday:
***STOP: 0x0000007E (0xF7AB135C, 0x805B2A41, 0xF7C82584, 0xF7C82280)

Thursday:
***STOP: 0x00000050 (0xE00331A0, 0x00000000, 0x8058B505, 0x00000000)

Friday:
***STOP: 0x00000074 (0x00000003, 0x00000002, 0x80087000, 0xC000014C)

What do these codes mean, why are they always different. Should I take off
Ad-Aware again.

Once I close down and restart, it is fine until the next day. Can anyone
please tell me what to do, it is driving me mad!!!

Hi Ping,
Uninstall the Ad-Aware and see if the Error will come back.
About why you get this Error, you may have limited Resources i.e. Disk space
on your machine or a hardware problem like Hub, USB, so check that you have
enough disk space and memory on your machine, look in the Event Viewer for
Error Msgs , and the latest updates installed for OS,then Reinstall the
Software.
Please let us know
Good luck

Usually these stop errors indicate a "Timing Problem" between a piece of
hardware and a "Service" OR "Application" attempting to access a particular
piece of harware via the HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer). The first error
PCIIDEX.SYS refers to the PCI IDE driver. This would indicate that Ad-Ware
(or the Ad-Watch component) is attemtping to access the drive while the OS
is attemting the same activity.

Usually the OS is trying to flush data to the drive (or update the MFT -
MetaFile Table).

I've installed Ad-Ware on a lot of my client's machines without a hitch. I
would suggest that you try to Update the app or dump it. I say all this
because I ran into a similar problem with NERO 6.x on XP and upgrading made
things all better.

One last point with regard to Ad-Ware: Try disabling the DEEP Scan option,
also if you have Ad-Watch installed - REMOVE it. It causes all kinds of
problems with XP - you can very this by trying to shutdown. You will
"Likely" have to tell XP to shutdwon TWICE.
