Re: Miktex problem with memory stick

Thanks David.

My new laptop is a Dell Latitude E6430, running Window 7.  The error
message of the BSOD appeared and went away very quickly.  I need to follow
your advice to reconfig the laptop so that I can read the message more
carefully.

My old laptop is also a Dell (but can't remember the model) and is also
running Window 7.
