    Came as a bit of a surprise, but my immediate reaction was to switch off power to my ADSL/wifi router to 'quarantine' the CF29 before re-starting it then setting up to do a full Clamwin scan of the C: drive... Going to take quite a few hours before it's finished.

    Good old Cf18 to the rescue (with my USB 3g dongle as I'm keeping the ADSL off!)...

    This could be telling me it's time I look at updating things in the 29, namely the disk. Still don't have an SSD in it and Xp Pro is getting long in the tooth. I'm not going to pay MS for a Win

    This could also be telling you it's time for a CF-30(MK2 or 3) since the prices are dropping fast in the USA. :rolleyes:

    I thought a Intel 2915 was the upgrade to fix the Intel 2200 issue?

    How well does Windows 7 go on a 29? Might be getting a copy of Win 7 Ultimate and that's apparently very good on other makes/models, but not sure if the 29's hardware is too old? I won't try it on my CF18 as that'll definitely be too old for Win7.

    BSOD hasn't happened again - was only once-off.
