You've left out everything we need to know. What OS(s)? What hardware? Post ipconfig. Router? ISP? Run a spyware scan.

The kind of problem you're describing sounds like some kind of restrictions set in the router configuration

It's looking for the jar file that installs the chrome theme (I think). Reinstall this theme, or another and see if that helps.

I wouldn't say it's "better", but it does seem to be very stable and driver/program support is excellent. That said, I expect dual-booting is the way to go, as it will expire next year.

How did you format? Can you see any info on the BSOD?

It won't add anything, but it won't hurt, especially if it's encrypted. If you don't use it, turn it off.
