brand new V2 crashes my HP

[Icon13]

NEW HERE

just got my efi live and v2, when I attempt to connect my v2 for the first time to my HP it goes to a blue screen saying alot of lingo i dont understand, ie. check vendor for update to bios, poss not enough memory, ect ect. then i have to shut the computer off to restore everything. any help would be great thanks.
checked the fourm's for this problem and couldnt find anything on my situation.

Start->All Programs->EFILive->V8->USB Device Manager,

click Uninstall USB Drivers,

click Install USB V2.02.04 (i.e. the older driver) and follow instructions;

report back.

could the problem be that im running windows 7? the instruction pdf file says recomended xp win2k and no less then windows 98 i believe windows 7 is newer then all of them. maybe this si the problem! i ran the efi live v2 disk on my desktop with xp and it worked. but obviously not practical lol. suggestions anyone?

Joecar tried what you mentioned and i get Error code:740 when i try to uninstall the drivers?

It should work with Win7 and Win8, we have members here running on those.

Windows 7 and EFILive work fine together. Download (save) Build 211 (V7.5) and Build 203 (V8) to your computer. Then to install, right click and select "Run as Administrator" - install Build 211 first, then Build 203. Once that is complete, use V8 to check the Bootblock and Firmware of your V2.

Currently running EFILive on XP, Vista, and 7 - no issues.

Ok, I merged the two threads (so the replies may seem odd since they are in order of time posted).
