My computer is occassionally getting a BSOD on startup. Upon restart, I’m told to send an error report to Microsoft, which is followed by this report:

Solution Found: Contact Texas Instruments to obtain the update

Problem Description

Thank you for submitting an error report. The error was likely caused by TI Connect™ (ticalc.sys).

Problem Resolution

TI Connect™ (ticalc.sys) was created by Texas Instruments. Texas Instruments informed Microsoft that they have a solution available for the problem you reported. To learn more about the solution, Texas Instruments recommends that you visit the following website:

Go http://education.ti.com/templatedata/news…

Additional Information

* Microsoft did not create, nor does it provide technical support for TI Connect™ (ticalc.sys).
* If you have trouble installing the fix or the problem you reported persists, please contact Texas Instruments and alert them of the problem.

While I did have TI Connect installed previously, it’s now uninstalled and I’m still getting the error. I’ll run a search for ticalc.sys.. nope, it doesn’t exist on my system. Weird.
