While installing, I received the following error:

---------------------------
Microsoft Outlook

Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client.

OK

I think there is something on my PC that doesn't like 4.2!

I was using 4.1 to sync my Wizard and never had a problem. When I installed 4.2 I got a "BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH" and my PC reboot. I tried reinstalling again and "BOOM" same blue screen at the end of the install process.

I tried a roll back to 4.1 and it crashed at the same place at the end of the install process.

I roll back even more to 3.8 and it crashed again!

I ask IT to format my PC (yeah! it's my work PC and they wont let me format it by myself) and once everything was re-installed, I tried to install 4.2 again and guess what?

"BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH" AGAIN!

Does anyone had experienced that problem with 4.2?
Do you have a solution?

Thanks for your help!
