Help me please! I get a blue screen of death!

[jordanllgg45]

I just downloaded Simple Port Forwarding. But when I clicked on the program to start it up, my screen turned my screen turned
to the blue screen of death! I really do not know why this is happening to me for. But it was working for me yesterday just fine and it did
get ay blue screen of death at all. So what is going on here. I also had to reinstall my whole computer because I did somethinh wrong on
it. And I also have Service Pack 1 with Windows XP. Do I need Service Pack 2 or later in order to run this program correctly? Maybe I have
to do that and upgrade to Service Pack 2 or 3. Because I do not know why I am getting this horrible blue screen of death for. Well
anyway, please get back to me as soon as possible and let me know what I am doing wrong and why I keep getting a blue screen of
death for. Because I want to know why it is doing this for to me. And this never happened before to me at all! So thank you very much.

The program shouldn't be causing any kind of blue screen. it could be a sign of another problem.

With xp you should have sp3 installed.

Also it would be a great idea to have the hard drive scanned and check for bad sectors. And to also test the memory.

First, test the memory, use this

Then to test your drive for bad sectors do this.
Open my computer.
Right click on the C: drive, then go to properties.
Click the Tools tab.
On Error Checking click check now.
When it opens you will have 2 check boxes.
Check them both.
It will ask if you want to have it scan at next boot, say yes then reboot.

See how those tests turn out.

If you just reloaded your system then make sure that you get XP up to service pack 3 and make sure all your hardware drivers are up to date (especially your video card and network driver) as those are surely out of date at this point.
