Hi,
I am on a Windows XP and if I ever use something that goes into one of the ports you plug a flash drive into 20 or so minutes later I get a blue screen of death. Normally it attributes this to a "Bad Pool Heater". I think it has to do with Ti Graphlink. I deleted graphlink thinking the problem would go away, but I think I forgot to delete something; A hook if it was on a calculator. Please help me.

| I once had a similar problem inserting and removing USB devices. On closer inspection, I discovered that the little plastic bit inside some of the the USB ports had snapped off, and the wires were just floating within the socket. Whenever I accidentally crossed the wires inserting or removing a device, it would BSOD or reboot. Anyway, here's hoping that's not your particular problem, because even though I stopped using those USB ports, the damage was irreversible, and a few months later the motherboard just fried and the whole computer stopped working. |

Type "drivers" into the Run command, press Enter, and look for Ticalc.sys in the window that pops up. As far as I know, deleting that file ought to be enough. But if the error should come again, you may have to A) make sure that it's still deleted and B) un-/reinstall your calculator's connectivity software (with restarts in between), but don't enable anything having to do with black or gray serial cables if you don't have one. That last part is pure speculation, but seeing as the file somewhat predates USB, it can't hurt to try.
