therayman Nov 23, 2008 12:27 PM (in response to therayman)Hi Dave
A blue screen is a major system crash. The entire operating system goes down leaving you staring at a blue screen with text on it until the operating system reboots. It was common in the early days of computing but rarely happens any more. I have only seen two blue screens in the last ten years or so. Both were with CS4. -

(David_Zeno) Nov 23, 2008 12:44 PM (in response to therayman)Hi Ray,
Thanks for explaining that. Ok, way back we used to call this, BSOD ( Blue Screen Of Death ), I never realized you were talking about this, - a system crash, I thought you meant, while capturing, CS4 was adding in framed of blue, to render your footage useless.
Thanks for clarifying :-)

Bill Hunt Nov 23, 2008 1:02 PM (in response to therayman)Ray,
The first two things that I would do is set your OS to NOT re-boot on errors, so you can read, and write-down, the info. Might be something useful there.
Second thing I'd do is to check out Event Viewer, especially the System and the Applications tabs. You *should* find some warnings (yellow) and errors (red). Dbl-click on each and do follow any links offered to MS. These often lead to the root cause, though the user intervention might not be clear. At least you'll have an idea of what is fritzing out.
When you have some info from above, maybe add to the thread your system details, hardware and all software in use. You've started this with the Vista-64, but go into more detail.
Also, your camera (Capturing from) and all details of your connections might help someone troubleshoot the issue.

Bill Gehrke Nov 23, 2008 6:01 PM (in response to therayman)Did you have CS4 installed on XP and then do an inplace upgrade of the OS to Vista without reinstalling CS4? If so I would not be surprised at such a complex program as CS4 having the same problem that it exhibited in XP64 Adobe does not support XP64 and if you expected the upgrade to cure your BSOD problem you should not be surprised that it still exists. -

therayman Nov 24, 2008 12:23 PM (in response to therayman)No you can't upgrade Xp x64 to Vista x64 you have to do a clean install. Actually I installed everything from scratch to a brand new drive. I know better than to delete my working system. I simply removed the drive and put in a new one just in case things didn't work out. I am busy and don't like to waste my time.
