    I have attempted to upgrade to Vista Premium on my Sony VGN-AR21S laptop, using the Vista express guide and CD's provided by Sony. Prior to the install, I re-built my WIn XP MCE partition using an image I created when I purchased the laptop (Nov 2006). So I have set-up a dual-boot environment.

    1. The clean install of Vista Premium worked without a problem
    2. Installation of the supplied drivers and pre-installed applications also went fine

    However, whenever I attempt to use the Program Uninstall, within the control panel, I get the blue screen of death, and cannot identify why. It occurs while the program list is being generated, any ideas
    what could be causing this problem, or know how to resolve it? How is the program list generated?

    :(
