Vista Royal.SYS BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) Crash Error
Windows Vista system running on motherboard with NVIDIA chipset such as ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe, ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe, ASUStek A8N SLI and nForce 680i LT may encounter the following royal.sys BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) error after installing and applying Nforce4 PCI-Express Root Port (for nForce 4 mobo) and nForce PCI System Management (for nForce 2 board) update from Microsoft or WHQL-certified drivers package from NVIDIA:
Windows has shut down to stop damage: ROYAL.SYS
ROYAL.SYS: An attempt was made to write to read-only memory.
Technical Information:
***stop: 0x000000BE (0×82001170, 0×0 20121, 0x8063A3A, 0x0000000B)
***royal.sys – address 80467309 base at 80463000, date stamp 45e7e315
The BSOD crash happens due to conflict with royal.sys and corruption done by NVIDIA driver. The royal.sys is the OEM BIOS emulation driver comes with Paradox OEM emulation Vista crack to OEM’s hardware-embedded BIOS ACPI_SLIC information signed by Microsoft to crack and activate Windows Vista ala instant OEM activation style. Some blogs and forums reported that it’s a driver emulator often found is OEM versions of Vista, and shipped by OEM manufacturers with Vista box machine purchased to allow Microsoft to validate your copy of Vista automatically without your knowledge hence make it simple and transparent to end users. However, the later case is unlikely. Someone-click Vista activators based on Paradox OEM hack are also affected by royal.sys conflict.
If you get this error, try to rollback the updated Nforce4 PCI-Express Root Port (for nForce 4 mobo) and nForce PCI System Management (for nForce 2 board) driver from Device Manager if possible. If you unable to access the desktop at all with constant BSOD, try the following workaround to get Vista running again properly without reformatting and with activation intact (Although if you prefer, system recovery restore feature in the form of disk or partition of OEM computer will wipe out everything and install a retail OEM Vista on your computer clean, fresh and without any problem).
- Boot up the computer to Safe Mode, or if your system has dual-boot operating system, boot up to another OS.
- Once in the Safe Mode or alternative Windows, rename the file in \Windows\System32\Drivers\royal.sys to another name, such as royal.bck.
- Restart the computer.
- You should be able to boot up and login normally to Vista. In Vista, go to Control panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager.
- In Device Manager, under System Devices category, there should be a listing named “NVIDIA Nforce4 PCI-Express Root Port” or “NVIDIA nForce PCI System Management”. Right click on it, and choose Properties.
- Click on Driver tab.
- Click on Roll Back Driver button, or Uninstall Driver if Roll Back Driver button is grayed out. The device should go back to SM Bus Controller or Unknown Device after refresh.
- Optional: Update the driver with old driver for Windows XP that comes in CD together with your motherboard. Older PCI driver will work with royal.sys and does not give BSOD on boot. Else left the hardware not installed after rollback or uninstall.
- Rename back the royal.bck located in \Windows\System32\Drivers\ folder to royal.sys.
- Restart the computer, and Vista should no longer has BSOD and will still be activated.
If you decided to format and reinstall fresh copy of Vista, in order to get Paradox crack to work, you should not apply the Nforce4 PCI-Express Root Port (for nForce 4 mobo) and nForce PCI System Management (for nForce 2 board) driver update detected by Windows Update or apply whole driver package from NVIDIA (but you can update driver for each device one by one except for PCI device.
If BSOD is stubborn and refused to go away, try to uninstall Paradox Vista crack.

i had did everything but still had the BSOD problem..could i just leave the royal.sys remain royal.bck?it seems to work for now..does it effects anything?
i figured out how to disable autoupdate. thanks anyway.
same prob. i uninstalled the nforce driver but everytime pc restarts, the driver is relisted. when i tried to reboot in safe mode, i noticed that windows detects the driver and reinstalls it. you said not to apply the Nforce4 PCI-Express Root Port (for nForce 4 mobo) and nForce PCI System Management (for nForce 2 board) driver update detected by Windows Update. how do you do that? sorry. noob.

NO tengo nvidia y me aparecio el error… (Dell Inspiron 1525).
Fue despues de una actualizacion de Windows Update… tenia las actualizaciones al día, aparecio una nueva (no se cual) y al los segundos… Blue splash! jaja. Le saque una foto y la tengo de recuerdo. Royal.sys bla bla bla…
Help me out.. I have the 750a motherboard.. and I un-installed the pci management.. than I changed the name back to .sys but I get the royal.sys error.. is there a way to edit the crack.. and everything? Like can I edit the name of the crack to CRACK.SYS and change everything to work w/ the new name?
What should I do? I can't afford to buy Vista 32-bit edition.. expensive for shit.
Thanks
Mis amigos, porfin pude destruir esa maldita frase de royal.sys, la famosa por lo que veo en el chip de nvidia creo que es un bus esa cosa, probe de todo paradox, paradox2, cracks y ese del asus pero nada y al estar navegando en una pagina traducida por gogle (segun por que estaba incoherente), encontre esa forma de hacerlo y con gusto los ayudo pero como es pitateria solo escribanme y se los mandere por correo con todo gusto.

well all you can simply do since vista is preloaded with drivers is after yuh do a fresh install apply the activation an it would work properly .
dont worry about the mother board drivers cd since vista's own in sufficient
please tell me how to fix stop 0x0000007e
pirated copies have no value
If you rollback instead of uninstall, I afraid you have to try out for any performance degradation and let us know.
I was thinking more of the "NVIDIA Nforce4 PCI-Express Root Port" since that's the one you roll back the drivers for.
The royal.sys is installed by crack, so I don't think it's related to your hardware drivers.
I have a question. If you roll back the drivers to an earlier version. Does this affect the performance of the PCI-Express ports? Especially the 16x ports for the graphics cards.
