Upon restarting my machine after any installation of software and/or system updates it refuses to boot normally and sometimes boots into Safe Mode. This is most aggravating. Now I can pretty much figure out for the GPF message that it has something to do with a memory address and a video driver but that’s about all I can get from it. Any input would be most appreciated. Here is the error text from the BSOD;
“An exception OE has occured at 0028:C1960E1 in VXD DRVWPPQT (01)+ 0002F991. This was called from 0028:C196EE33 in VXD DRVWQ117 (01) + 000E483. It may be possible to continue.”

yada, yada, yada…blah, blah, blah
