Player 3 + Windows 7 64 Host BSOD

I've been using Player 2.x on Windows 7 without isues - but I hadn't used it much. Trying Player 3 on ThinkPad T400 running Windows 7 Pro 64. Brought up existing Solaris 10 client OK. I was pleased to see the new player features. Tried "Install Tools". BSOD.

"The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x000000fe (0x0000000000000008, 0x0000000000000006, 0x0000000000000005, 0xfffffa80074a07a0)"

Ouch. Broke my desktop wallpaper in the process. Could have been worse.

Trying it again, it just shows "connecting..." indefinitely. Firewall off or on doesn't seem to matter.

Not installing tools isn't that big a deal but the BSOD is.

Any ideas? Thanks,

Z.

What are the specifications of the computer: memory, mobo, processor, harddisks?

Well, it's a ThinkPad T400, so let me see:

MOBO is whatever they shove into these things. CPU Core 2 Duo 9400. Memory 4G DDR3. 320G Hitachi HD 700 RPM. Windows 7 Pro 64.

Did you get a mini-dump from the BSOD that you can post? It would be in C:\Windows\minidump.

Unfortunately that folder is empty. IIRC, the only remains I could find was the event log entry that was made after rebooting..
