???Control User Account Control,??? in Chapter 8, for more information.
And second, Vista notoriously has trouble copying files to and from
USB devices. So, if you copy a folder full of images from your USB card
reader directly to your external USB hard disk, or move document files
from a USB memory key to a shared network folder, Windows Explorer
may crash. There??™s no easy fix to this one, but you can work around it
by copying files to your desktop first.
As explained above, you need to use Task Manager to close a crashed Windows
Explorer window. But if you want to be able to close a crashed window
and leave any other Explorer windows (and the desktop) intact, you??™ll
need to make a change in Control Panel. Open Folder Options and choose
the View tab. In the Advanced settings list, turn on the Launch folder windows
in a separate process option, and then click OK. From now on, when
you see the Green Ribbon of Death, it??™ll only mean death for one of your
Windows Explorer windows, not all of them.
Blue Screen of Death
The Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) is aptly named. It??™s blue, it fills the screen,
and it means death for whatever you were working on before it appeared.
Microsoft refers to BSoD errors as ???Stop Messages,??? a euphemism for the
types of crashes that are serious enough to bring down the entire system.
A single error is no cause for concern. Only if a BSoD error
happens a few times, or repeatedly, do you need to pursue
any of the solutions listed here.
