Blue Screen of Death w/ Act Pro 2012

[gm18976]

I have a computer running XP Pro SP3 that is serving as our ACT database.  We have multiple machines connecting to this computer for ACT without any trouble.  However, when trying to log on to any database from this host computer, I get a blue screen of death just after the login prompt.

I've checked event logs... all I'm seeing is a system error for the blue screen.  No other clues.  

Help?

found the issue to be with an ATI driver, found the hint in the link below.

I would be looking at the blue screen message as these always contain clues to the resolutions. If you move the database to another machien does it work correctly.

Thanks.  Maybe this blue screen error tells you something?
