Crashes machine completely

Hello Bob

Please try these steps:
This steps help me:

1)<Start>All Programs>Accessories>System tools> Disk
Cleanup .(app to clean out temporary files)

2)Use MSCONFIG to disable startup of all third-party
services and as many third-party drivers as you can
manage. Please disconnect from the Internet (a third-
party software firewall may be disabled!) and then restart
with these items disabled.

After Start on Safe Mode

3)Try to download again and choose "Save to disk"
not "run".

4)Download CCleaner and install.

tag=lst-0-1

- Restart in safe mode, press F8 during reboot/restart.

- Run CCleaner. if downloaded. Otherwise use Accessories,
System tools, Disk Cleanup app(CCleaner is faster).

- Try to start MSAS again and Scan.

Remember MS antispyware is a beta. If you think you have a
virus or other problems run ad-aware and/or spybot search
and destroy. As a virus checker run AVG 7.0. These three
programs are free and you should have them in your quiver
and run them regularly.

There are also others as well. but these three will do the
job for you.

Later on when MS gets the final version out try it again.

Meanwhile remove sit if you have had no experience with
incomplete beta programs.

Then try the installation again.

5)Double click on saved file to start install.
Additionally, check that your antivirus signatures are
current, and do a full scan of your drive.

Thanks Engel,

I've already tried disabling most of the third party apps.
I run AVG7 pro+Adaware SE + Spybot S&D, & everything comes
up clean, but the installation it crashes on is a new
install anyway. My intuitive feeling is that there is a
clash with the Promise Raid SATA controller driver as it is
a pretty fundamental crash, losing the OS completely, and
Sygate's latest personal firewall version 2080 won't run
either, but I'll try disbling more apps. and try a safe
mode scan....more later....
If all else fails I'll see if I can swap the RAID array
over to the VIA RAID controller on the same board (Asus A8V
Deluxe).
