Digital Mutterings

Since my last Firefox dilemma appears to be popular, hears another story of woe. When Windows 7 went RTM, I immediately went, and installed the 64 bit version on my system, but even before that I was having a problem with the Windows 7 RC 64 bit desktop wanting to crash constantly. After  uninstalling different software I had on my system to no avail,  I removed Firefox and it stopped. Now I can only speak to the 64 bit version of Windows 7, but for some reason it, and Firefox did not want to play nice with each other. This problem persisted across several builds of both software.

Now here's the weird part, when I went and installed the retail copy of Windows 7 I had purchased, I decided to install Firefox, and to my surprise I have had zero problems. I don’t know if something in Windows changed between RTM, and retail release, or if something was changed in Firefox, but the two seem to be getting along  nicely now. I have also heard of some other software having a similar effect so the best advice I can give, is to try removing different software until you uncover the culprit, but I would start with Firefox first.
