    I've just bought TI8 upgrade D/L link version was 763...so I had to D/L version 771. After this frustrating process when I'm asked if I want to make a boot disk the program just bombs out my computer. Is it me or has TI suddenly become unstable? Or is it issues with Windows XP SP2?

    Anyway has any including Acronis got any idea how I can reslove this problem please? Any help gratefully recieved.

    The system shuts down and reboots itself.

    Others have reported success making the CD in safe mode.

    Sounds like a faulty driver issue.

    Disable the option to automatically reboot your computer in case of a STOP error:
    Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Startup And Recovery -> Automatically reboot

    The next time it happens, if it is truly a crash, you will be presented with the information about the crash. On the other hand, if it truly is a spontaneous reboot, then you may have faulty hardware such as bad RAM, an overheating CPU, or bad PSU.

    You should also be able to pull the crash info from the Event Viewer.

    You don't happen to have Roxio CD burning software on your PC, do you?

    Well, you could get the crash info that I mentioned previously and post that.
    Or you could simply get rid of the Roxio software if you want to test something right away.

    The Roxio software is horribly flawed in my experience.
