BSOD when shutting down/restarting windows

Everytime I run the update feature to install the updates to upgrade from version 3.0.21.329 or use the latest download of cfp version 3.0.25.378, I get a BSOD everytime I shut down/ restart the computer. Minidumps are not being created… the bluescreen of death happens after the user is already logged off/settings saved… it literally bluescreens milliseconds after the screen goes black

If I uninstall cfp and just use this version: CFP_Setup_3.0.21.329_XP_Vista_x32.exe I have no problems… I have been troubleshooting this for a while… after the installing the latest version or after rebooting after updating a previvous version of cfp to the latest build, all subsequent shutdowns blue screen…

I am running win xp 32bit sp3
cable internet
logged in with admin priv
running disk encryption
using default rules

Has any one else seen this??

BSOD:
STOP 0x000000F4 (0x00000003, 0x86B59A20,0x86B59B94, 0x805C8BFC)

Hi Hobbes, welcome to the forums.

I believe that post CFP 3.0.21.329 had extra rootkit protection added (not sure on the relevance of this at the moment). But, can you expand a bit on the disk encryption that you are using? Thanks. I seem to have a dim recollection, from somewhere, that BSOD 0x000000F4’s might be related to HDDs.

Greetings!

Seems like kail is right. 0x000000F4-errors are related to your HDD(s).

I doubt this is the case in your situation, but like kail also said, it might be related to your disc encryption.

I found this on msdn: it looks like it means “that a process or thread crucial to system operation has unexpectedly exited or been terminated.”
CRITICAL_OBJECT_TERMINATION

(disk encryption Truecrypt 5.1a)

Is Comodo trying to stay resident after the encryption keys are cleared from memory on shutdown? What rootkit protection feature was added???

I haven’t had any problems before with Comodo or Truecrypt. I run a very minimal setup on this machine.
For now, I have reverted back to build 3.0.21.329; no problems what so ever…

I’ll try out the next Comodo update to see if this stop error has been fixed… I don’t like getting Stop errors when running full disk encryption…

Not sure about the memory clearance (we’d need to ask the Dev’s about that). But, I believe CFPs anti-rootkit defence was toughened during this period (caused a problem with GameGuard).

I don’t blame you.
