Hello! I install Eset smart security 4.2.40.0. Once I reboot my PC - the windows XP will BSOD (SESSION3_INITIALIZATION_FAILED) upon booting. I can only log into safe mode. If I uninstall ESS - the XP boots fine. If I re-install and disable self-defense - the XP boots fine. I have dual boot with Vista and Vista is the bootmanager, so XP is on second drive. XP doesn't generate memory.dmp upon BSOD during startup, so I had to resort to the dump initiated from keyboard with ctrl+scrllock. I hope it helps. I uploaded both the dump and the SysInspector log captured immediately after the installation of ESS to ftp.nod.sk/support. System spec (don't remember if it's gathered by SysInspector): Motherboard: Abit IP35 RAM: 2GB with mild overclock CPU: Intel E6750 GPU: Nvidia 8800GT 512mb Thanks in advance.
Hello! I'm sorry it took me that long to get back. Your advice was to edit the registry setting: as a possible way to have memory dump file be captured by windows. I must report, that once I set the key's value to 2 the BSOD doesn't occur anymore even with the self-defense enabled (I suppose it was indeed running, as upon rebooting, I can't change the aforementioned key back from 2 to 1). I've confirmed this finding by disabling the self-defense, rebooting, setting the key back to 2 and re-enabling self-defense - the crash re-appeared. Seems like the answer is close What exactly does ehdrv (Eset Helper driver) do? What does setting this registry value to 2 do? Am I better running with this value set to 2 or with running w/o self-defense enabled? And will there be a fix? Thanks for the reply!
