    Same here.  Tried complete removal of Dropbox and reinstall newest version from Dropbox website, 143.4.4161.  Any help from Dropbox?

    I followed the instructions provided by the support team, and still received BSODs. Completely uninstalled, edited my registry to remove Dropbox completely and then reinstalled and it has been working fine.
