BlackICE and Blue Screen

Question

I've been using the DELL D600 with BlackICE v3.6.coa with no issues.  I just got the DELL D610 and now each time BlackICE service starts my laptop blue screens.  I have installed the same exact software that I had on my D600.  I can't find any information regarding this on BlackICE's website.  Can anyone think of any reason why this is happening?

Aside from the fact that Black Ice hasn't been worth a dime since the 20th century, you mean?

If you're running a D600 with Windows XP and Black Ice, you're wasting your money, as the WinXP firewall is every bit as effective as, if not better than Black Ice. Come to think of it, Black Ice hasn't proven itself to be that much better under any other OS in the last 4 or 5 years. The free version of Zone Alarm would probably work better on any pre-XP OS.
