Boot Camp 3.0 AppleHFS.sys Windows blue screen crash

All of a sudden my computer started crashing constantly when I run Windows Vista (about every couple of hours or so). The Windows blue screen appears and refers to AppleHFS.sys as the cause for the crash. The problem occurs when I run Windows directly using Boot Camp and when I run it though VMWare Fusion. Does anyone else experience this problem? Any way to fix it? Thank you!

I've got the same problem with a Vista 32 fresh install and Bootcamp v3.0 fresh install. It occurs without SP, with SP1 and with SP2.

After one month without a crash, the BSOD appeared again today. Again, the problem was AppleHFS. I sure hope that Apple comes up with a fix soon. This issue is really annoying.

By the way, that last post was with Parallels 5.0 and Bootcamp 3.0.

On my registry i've found this setting:

C?\Windows\system32\drivers\AppleMNT.sys

why "c?\..." ?

ps. hfs is mounted..
