Hello,
My wife opened up her computer yesterday and got the blue screen of death with the following message.
Registry Error:
Stop: 0x00000051 (0X00000001, 8B226008, 0X012CB000, 0X00000368)
We can boot in safe mode. Her operating system is Vista SP2 with Norton security.
OS Version: 6_0_6002
Service Pack 2_0
Product 768_1
We have not installed any hardware in quite some time and to her knowledge she has not installed any software or new drivers recently.
Upon searching the internet I find a variety of details to the first part (Stop 51) but all the numbers after differ so I'm unsure if I have a similar issue.
Any ideas on how to trouble shoot or resolve? I have saved all of her files to an external, so I can reformat if necessary.
thanks!
Brady
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
So after booting in safe mode i uninstalled all programs that were installed over the last month (firefox update & windows update), i then utilized system restore to the 15th of January. As of right now it seems stable. I've updated windows, firefox, and norton and all appears to be working.
