    Default Black screen, blue screen, restarting! [Vista]

    That happens within a second!

    It appears to be happening with my tablet in Photoshop.

    Photoshop either freezes, crashes or the screen just flashes up a BSOD, in milliseconds so i have NO chance of reading it, and then the PC reboots. Any one know a way of finding what that BSOD says that would help.

    I ran a virus check, nothing, i ran spybot and cleaned all the crap it found. Did it again.

    So i un-installed my tablet drivers, and will re-install them from Wacom's site.

    But it's really strange if this doesn't fix it i need help i can't finish my final piece unless i do it on my laptop which looks like my last resort, otherwise ill be using the Daredevil i ahve already finished and not the new one.

    Seriously Vista is a bitch, might get SP1 and see if that fixes any of the problems i get, if not ill send a e-mail to M$ tell em to get their fingers out from where the sun don't shine and sort it out I payed good hard cash for this and it's, useless.

    EDIT:
    New drivers installed.
    Same thing
    Restart
    Paint with my mouse no tablet involved it's fine. Start painting with Tablet. Yup Blue screen restart.

    WTF

    Someone please help, this is a bitch, im going to post anywhere and everywhere now...

    Then sue Wacom and Microsoft for helping me fail my project... ffs.

    Bump.

    Anyone?

    Problem solved, someone over at Wacom suggested a plug-in, low and behold photoshop crashed but the PC didnt restart, i went into the event viewer as pointed out by a few other forums to see that one of the Multi-core plug-ins was doing it, removed that, it's all fine so far.

    So it appears Photoshop could have issues with Quad cores if that particular plug-in is enabled =|

    The plugin may be for Windows XP which handles multiple cores differently than Vista.
