    About once in three times when I shut down I end up with a blue screen of death … have to restart, restore and shut down again. Is this … uh … common for ME?

      THis solution deals with a “Windows Protection Error” BSOD. If you connect to the Windows Update page on the Web you will come across a patch to ME called Windows IDE Hard Drive Cache Package. It seems windows is trying to close down before the disk has written its cache away. I dont think the patch works in every case, since my IGig PIII + UDMA 66 drive machine still reports the BSOD on 4 out of 5 cases even though Ive installed the patch.
