    Windows XP does not support Turbo Memory. Thus, there is nothing to remove.

    They made it because when you order a Vista computer with Turbo Memory and downgrade to XP, the driver for Turbo Memory will be unidentified in Device Manager because XP can't use it. This disabling tool removes that exclamation.

    For the blue screen, you're going to have to tell us more about it. Any code?

    For starters, try disabling Sonic DLA if you have it. Right click on your optical drive and disable it.
