Sounds good in theory anyway!Д¬an anyone help me find these registry entries that windows is using when booting into the 'Last known good configuration'? And I assume the *current* configuration is everything under CurrentControlSet? If I can, I can remove these, and hopefully windows should work normally again. I was hoping it might be possible to get a look at the settings windows has used to successfully boot, and then somehow compare these to the settings that are causing the BSOD, and see if I can pinpoint the offending registry entries. Are there any logs I can look at that would reveal this?

But I don't know where these backups come from, nor how to tell which backup windows has used to boot successfully. I've read in a few places that choosing the 'Last known good configuration' option causes windows to restore some backed-up settings into the CurrentControlSet registry area. It may be that I've only 'half-removed' a bit of malware and this is now causing the BSOD? I've been getting redirects in Firefox lately which is a clear sign of a malware infection, and have been in the process of removing it with some help from some anti-malware forums. There is a chance this could be related to some malware. It only seems to work if you let the BSOD occur first 'naturally' and then reboot again and wait to be presented with the prompt. Interestingly, when booting up from scratch, if I press F8 and use 'Last known good configuration' immediately, I still get the BSOD. So every time I reboot I have to go through this procedure of getting the BSOD and then using the 'Last known good configuration' option. Now I assume the normal course of things would be that Windows would save the new configuration and use it on the next boot, but that doesn't seem to be happening here.

The printer I installed recently obviously is no longer installed, so I have to install the drivers again each time I boot in this mode. The display settings are a bit wrong, so I have to reset them. The mouse doesn't work on boot, but once you unplug and replug it into the USB port it works again. I boot using this and the PC boots up fine. Anyway, once the BSOD appears, I power cycle and on the next boot am presented with the opportunity to use 'Last known good configuration'.
