    I was trying out Microsoft Mathematics 4.0[^] on Windows XP SP3 but I keep getting blue screen of death while messing with it. Has anyone else been able to keep this application running for more than 5 minutes? (On windows XP)

        I think this was commented on a while back. Others were also having problems.

        Best wishes, Hans

          Just installed it at home on XP SP3 and it worked. Any particular feature that was failing?

            Not sure. It blue screened while messing with the equation editor and while graphing.

                I'm kinda puzzled how a user mode application can cause a BSOD... Unless its exposing some bug in a (eg) graphics driver. Crashing, that would not surprise me. Taking out your PC? Gosh! Iain,

                  Been using it for a while now on XP SP3 - it's never even crashed, let alone BSOD. Takes a while to load, but after that it's fine.

                    I broke it about a month ago, also while playing with graphing. Not 100% sure but I think it can't handle invalid parameters.

                      That would result in a crash. But the OP is talking about a BSOD, and I'd suspect that his graphics driver is playing foul.

                        True, true. I just got the "Microsoft Mathematics has experienced a problem......." message.

                          If it's a WPF application, it uses Direct3D (part of DirectX). If it's a native-mode application, it would not surprise me that it uses DirectX. In either case, that could readily expose video driver issues from a user-mode application, thereby causing a BSOD.

                            I found the same with the Folding@Home GPU client - I have to use the Catalyst driver for my ATI 3870 rather than the one that comes with W7x64.
