Blue Screen Of Death When Doing A Full System Scan
Question : When I do a full scan of my system for viruses about half way through i get the blue screen of death saying there is a problem and that windows will now be shutting down. The error says "STOP 0×000000050
Answer : The error "STOP 0×000000050 is a very general blue screen of death error message. In my experience this is more likely being caused by some sort of hardware driver. Have you installed any new hardware drivers in your system recently or have upgraded any driver versions?? If yes remove or downgrade the driver. If no try going through every single driver and load a later version if possible.
If the above fails run chkdsk to check your hard-drives health, Open mycomputer and right click on your hard-drive and select properties then click on the check now button to check your systems hard-drive. Now select both tick boxes and click start, the chkdsk will now run on the next reboot.

Outlook cannot display the requested font
Issue : After I’ve been using Word and Outlook for a while, I receive the following message: there is insufficient memory or disk space. Word cannot display the requested font. Once I get this error message, my fonts are garbled in both Word and Outlook. I have plenty of memory and disk space so what is the problem??
Resolution : There are a couple of things that can cause this. One is a corrupted normal.dot template, one is a corrupted printer driver, and the other would be some sort of third part add in. So let’s start witht he simplest to try and that is replacing the normal.dot template.
Click on Start, go to Search, and in the Search box type normal.dot. There should be a search option that you can check for ‘search hidden files’, make sure that is checked. If it does not find it, try searching for *.dot. It may be hard to find because it is a hidden file. You may have to go into folder options and be sure "show hidden files" is checked. Whenever you find normal.dot, rename it old.dot and restart your computer. Open Word and it will create a new normal.dot template, which is what Word uses as a default blank document.
If that does not work, read this article about a third party add in that can cause this issue:
