Hello All: My sister's brand-new HP laptop displays the following error when shutting down: "The exception unknown software exception 0X0000005 occurred in the application at location 0X76017be2" Laptop's specs: HP G70-463cl Running Windows Vista She will be getting the windows 7 upgrade soon, so if this error is related to the operating system, she says she won't worry too much about it. Thanks! Deguza

If before, i'd say it was something in startup - disabling startup would allow you to test that. If you run msconfig, you can do so. Otherwise It may depend on what hardware she may have added that didn't come from the factory. If the later doesn't apply, calling HP tech support would be prudent and it would be something they may very well may know about. There is a third possibility that it's simply corruption from windows not being shut down properly. If the computer is completely unused, running the restore would be the easiest way to fix it and determine if there is a hardware problem with the computer itself. *Only* do so with only the hardware that came from the factory attached. Was this a "demo" model by any chance? -- (setq (chuck nil) car(chuck) )

Only get it from sellers IN the USA and with over 100 positive feedback comments. You'll just get the key and you can download the ISO file and make your own DVD. Make sure the auction indicates where you can download the ISO from. Its not difficult to burn an ISO onto a DVD - CDBurnerXP is a free utility that can. another is imgburn. There is no need to spend that much on an upgrade.

And it's meant for that specific consumer computer. retail MS windows are *not* the same the ones that come on restore disks. There are huge differences in driver support for one. Nor is Vista they have supplied or supported by Microsoft. Their software warrenty lies with HP. -- (setq (chuck nil) car(chuck) )

Free support for Vista from MS is I think 60 days after purchase. You should call HP or MS for support.
