Update - logged on this morning and everything is working fine. They -- "drivereasy" had recommended jiggering with the power balance options on the control panel. Since everything seems to be working ok, should I pass on that? Also, looked at their other solutions and a utility for downloading drivers is offered as you mention in your post. I guess if 10 gives me that message again, I'll have to do as you recommend with the BSOD instructions. Thanks again.
