Yo, dude. Thanks for the reply.
I did all the error checking with those programs, a few incursions but nothing relevant. I checked the event viewer too and came across these:

ummm... yea... thats alot of info. Some of them may have been caused by me. In my attempt to fix the error before posting here, i had disabled automatic updates and rebooted. I had also set "Windows Driver Foundation - User-mode Driver Framework " to disabled
and fidled with it a bit, but it has since been reverted.
