As I suggested on the other item:

Is it possibly a video driver related bug, or something Dell specific? I don't use Open Table but I have a Dell machine with core 2 duo processors and a high-end video card, and I get blue screens all the time on that machine (but none seem related to Management Studio at all). I have a few other Dell machines (two desktops and a laptop), both desktops have dual core, and none of these three machines has ever had a blue screen. So it can't be Management Studio in isolation, else I would be seeing this on all Dells (or all Dells with multi core processors, or all Dells with nvidia video cards, etc). The symptom definitely sounds video driver related to me.

I have Acer, not Dell.
Problems are from January, I've been installed new MSDN, SP1 for SQL and security patches from MS and from next day BSOD are fired.

Hi Acruse,

Thanks for reporting this issue. Could you upload some core dump here so that we can analyse?

Why is this closed if it has not been resolved yet?

As workaround states, removing iPoint mouse driver should alleviate the problem.
But why? Why should a mouse driver cause a database management application to BSOD in the Win32 kernel ?!

Same problem with a Dell Latitude D820 and using Visual Studio 2005 and SQL server 2005.
Problem appears both in Sql Server Management Studio and in Visual Studio Server Explorer when opening tables for editing records.
Problem "solved" when stopping ipoint.exe process from Task mngr.
Thanks from dealing out this problem.

I constantly get BSODs with SQL Server Management Studio when I use Open Table. No other application gives me BSODs ever. I, too, have iPoint.exe runnint, but I have a hard time seeing how this could possible have anything to do with the mouse driver. I also doubt that this is a video card issue, because I get no errors from any other software, including some high-end production applications - I only ever get errors from SQL Server Management Studio 2005. I have the above versions (as reported in the original issue.)

Sorry, hit Submit too soon. I also have all the latest patches to all system components (Windows XP SP2, etc.)

The mouse driver appears to be culprit for me. The only other factor is that I have a VPC open in the background, and only get the BSOD when the Intellipoint is running and at least one VPC is running. Using the most current Intellipoint as of this writing (6.3). Uninstalling Intellipoint fixes the issue.

Confirmed here too. I hit the blue screen 5 times in past three weeks, always when opening a table (view data) in SQL Server Management Studio. Doesn't always happen. ipoint.exe is also running. I'm using a Fujitsu Lifebook laptop. This laptop has never blue screened before. Running XP SP2.

I have de-installed my Intellipoint drivers (I think 6.xx), which came standard with my MS Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 (Bluetooth).
After I have done this, I have not seen the BSOD since.

It appears this is a valid temporary fix.
I don't know if any other developer here uses Intellipoint, but it's recommended to uninstall it. Perhaps it'll help for everyone.

Jan_V -- I think you're right.. I killed iPoint.exe (and subsequently uninstalled it) and I can not reproduce.
Thanks!

It looks like this is a VERY common issue:

I have found the ipoint.exe program to be the source of this problem as well. 2 other guys at my work use the exact same laptop, same version of xp and management studio and i was the only one experiencing this problem. I was also the only one with a Microsoft mouse, and after killing that process I haven't had the problem again.

Ditto. The moment I installed Intellipoint 6.1 I started having problem opening tables. BSOD'ed at least 10 times. Uninstalled the drivers and problem went away.
