the system has recovered from a serious error

hey, peteC

i disable all three of them and rebooted what is the next step.

 

Hi John,

I wonder if you have a clear understanding of what and why Pete has suggested you remove the virtual vobib drive, only.

Your original problem was bluescreens and problems while burning disks. Past posts have shown that Pinnacle software and the virtual rom drive that is created with such, is problematic for the proper function of other rom drives.

He has suggested that it may be worth using links to the how-to's and disabling this vobib virtual drive will restore normal function to other rom drives. In the least it help to figure out if pinnacle and virtual drive is root cause of your posted problem. Your blue screens may be due to compatibility issues between the 3 drives.

See, read and review some of the google topics on the subject:

Opps, Dang it Pete,

I guess I took to long typing this. I thought I'd offer a bit of assistance. I was little to late and much to slow.

 

hi, goddez1

im sorry jus a beginner at this my father is the one that referd me to yall just need some one to hold my hand through this if it not a problem. Sorry about the agravation not trying to b a pain

 

which one do i get off of google?

 

Hi Pete, hi all.

I got to the Device Manager and under the Scsi and Raid controllers I found the vob instant drive controller but not the vob drive controller. I uninstalled it per your instruction.

I did get the registry backed up. BUT: The first instance of vobid; when I right clicked I only got the following options:

Modify
Modify binary data
-----------
Delete
Rename

No export so I've come to a standstill for now. ( This comp is a mess. )

Where to now? Should I go back and try anything that has already been posted or no? I started here since this was the last instruction.

I'm on John's computer in case you didn't guess.

 

More than likely you are trying to export a value which is on the right side of screen.

You need to export the hkey which is on the left side. Looks like folders and subfolders.

Or just highlight value or hkey and use toolbar>file>export.

The exporting of these hkey and values will more than likely not be needed but are an additional restore pecaution should the need arise. I assume you had backed up the entire registry, as instructed, prior to doing any of this. That was restore option 1. A system restore point was option 2. Individual hkeys you are now exporting is option 3.

Three layers of precaution for a beginner, who was showing signs of interring the school of hard knocks, may be over kill but couldn't hurt.

 

Thanks for the clarification Goddez1. I exported then deleted all the vorbids I could and rebooted the comp. Since I'm just now joining this thread I'm kinda at a loss now. Is there anything else that needs to be done or do you think the deletion of the vorbits is enough? What should he/I try next?

Thanks for the patience everyone.

 

As Pete per Pete's instructions:

>When all the entries for vobid have been found and dealt with in the manner described above close the Registry Editor.

>Reboot the computer.
>vobid virtual should be gone.
>Your 2 optical drives should show in Windows Explorer or device manager - test them.

We're trying to eliminate original problem:

On reboot, error message comes up reporting that the system has recovered from a serious error. A dump file is made, as happens when bsod/errors occur. Advice and how-to's were given to make sure to adjust setting options so that the computer does not reboot on an error. Link was given to a tool that would help read the dump file and see if a clue or clarification was offered as to what caused the bluescreen reboot.

Dump pointed the finger at hal (hardware abstraction layer). Conclusion drawn was that poster had problem with hardware. Logic says most likely suspect was rom drives. Steps taken and in progress were to focus on getting rid of or eliminating a known issue with vobid virtual drive and existing rom drives.

You are now ready to test rom drives. Burn disc play file read/ explore disks etc etc.....put drives through the paces to see if all is well with functions.

Hopeful results: No bluescreen, noreboot, no error...........Problem is fixed and everyone is a happy camper.

 

Wow, an excellent summary of the problem and what has been done and what needs to be done. 3 kudos to you.

I was able to use PeteC's instructions since John printed them out. Good step by step instructions Pete. Easy to follow and easy to do. Except for the part where I got my right and left backwards in the registry.

Ok, I'll tell him to put the drives through the ringer, which will be easy for him, and see whats what. Thanks again for all your patience through this. I feel pretty sastified that things will be ok now. I'll have him resolve this thread in a couple of days if he has no more problems. Thanks again.

 

Hi Pete. Yeah I did everything you instructed. I exported and deleted all the vorbid entries that came up, well deleted what would delete. Then closed out of the registry editor and rebooted. Checked that the two proper drives showed up in Device manager but I forgot to test them or anything. I just told John to go ahead and do what he was doing and see if he had any more problems. I told him if he did to let me know before he posted here about it.

One more thing; what do I do with the vorbid entries that I exported?

 

I'll post back as soon as I find out.
