Same question as Clint. Are the BSOD's intermittent? Also .. How was ZA improperly installed? What were the symptoms? How did you uninstall it? How did you clean it up? Did you use the ZA removal tool?

(If so how did you install Comodo?) I can think of some things but I first need to know if it will go into Windows. -Clint God Bless, Clint Hamilton, Owner www.OrpheusComputing.com www.ComputersCustomBuilt.com www.OrpheusComputing.com/cheap_reliable_web_hosting.html www.OrpheusComputing.com/PCworks-computer-help-email-list.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Kaulback" I had been running the latest version of Zonealarm free firewall on my win7 64 system but the firewall was improperly installed. So I uninstalled it and cleaned it up, did a cold shutdown and after booting the system I got a BSOD with this message "IRQL_Not_less_or_equal" over ndis.sys. Safe mode does nothing and a safe mode with networking gives the error too. So it's a Last known good configuration boot. Tried Comodo firewall and got the same error. So I'm using the win7 firewall only. There has been no driver updates from vendors or MS. I've tried using a wi-fi card, the on-board nic, and a separate nic card and all respond with the same error. The separate nic is on irq 20 and the wifi is on irq 17. The onboard is intermittent and has been disabled. I;m stumped :) Any ideas?
