The hypermarket and the video freeze

In the evening I went to the city's first hypermarket, which opened yesterday. The store really is the biggest in the city, but does it actually qualify as a hyper. The range of goods is the same as in the other supermarkets, well, there's also a section with clothes and discs. Plus there's live fish swimming in aquariums for sale (brrrrrrr). Because of its size the market is spacious, though that was probably hardly noticeable during the day — from the reviews I heard the crush at the opening was unbelievable. It also has escalators, which I haven't spotted anywhere else in the city either. It's good that it's close to home, but not right under the windows. Because of its size they couldn't find a spot in the center, so in the end they built it on the outskirts near the residential districts. Interestingly, a lot of the goods have a long shelf life, and some may even be expired — they were brought in from other stores of this same chain, and in the first days of operation shoppers don't pay much attention to the dates.

I partly figured out why my computer used to freeze before, or more precisely the video card. I decided to play NWN2, and to run it you need Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, so I installed it... In the end, after a reboot the picture on the monitor froze almost immediately, and the same thing happened the next few times too. There weren't many suspects, two to be exact - Microsoft .NET Framework and Daemon Tools 4.08. DT didn't raise much suspicion, so I removed the Framework, and now everything works fine. But I'd had all of this installed before too, except for KAV6. So it turns out there's some kind of conflict between the programs, but why does everything freeze with the antivirus turned off, or does turning it off not play a big role, or is the problem already with the video card? I'm confused, I really need to get to the bottom of this.
