Sorry if this is long-winded, am completely stuck and not sure what to do. I am a MS employee, got a free (legal) copy of Win7 ultimate under the home usage program and our internal help desk says they don’t support. I have loaded many OS onto laptops at work, so know the basic routine.
Computer is HP Pavillion Desktop, came with Vista Home edition about two years ago. I checked for compatibility and chose to do a custom install. On first install I forgot to eliminate the second partition that had the original image. Computer booted up ok (incredibly slow, about 15 minutes) but couldn’t reboot without bluescreen. Wireless worked, I was able to do some windows updates but knew something was very wrong, so didn’t attempt to reinstall programs. Printer driver loaded on its own.
Re-did the custom install, this time deleting the extra partition. Now, I can barely boot up, the machine blue screens on the way, wireless doesn’t work and it doesn’t recognize my home network or any other network (usually there are 3 or 4 in my neighborhood that show up). Shutting down will blue screen as well, I tried yesterday. I’m leaving it up and running hoping for a miracle cure.
On first attempt, I was able to capture this information.

I tried to look at my current mini dump folder but it’s empty AND I don’t have permissions to view.
Now what? Thank you for any suggestions.
