device drivers

If the device drivers are attempting to install are using protected
instructions or IO, they will either require a conversion or port to kernel
mode to function in XP.

My solution was to uninstall the sound drivers and then reboot. The wizard
found the drivers and things worked.

COMPUTER CRASHING
DEVICE DRIVER PROBLEM
HAVE FORMATTED
STILL CRASHING
HELP

What is the bad file name? If you know what the filename is then try this:

After you log onto the computer, bring up Task Manager. If the file is
there, then End it. Now see what device doesn't work anymore (or you might
be warned that a device may not work). If the file is not there, then the
problem will happen when you use a particular device. So go ahead and use
one device, then check task manager to see if the bad file was loaded.

or

Boot into SAFE mode where you can accept or reject each file as it is loaded
at boot time. When you see the offending file, tell it not to load. After
you are logged in, see what device isn't working.


else,

If it is a device problem, it is usually whatever you last
connected/installed on your computer when the problem began. Were you
accessing/using a device at the time of the failure? Were you doing the same
thing each time the failure happened and what was that thing?

If you can't remember, and without the file name, it'll be a little harder
to track the problem down which will require you disconnect and uninstall
all your peripheral devices first (scanner, printer, etc.) and see if the
problem persists. If it does, then you know it is not a problem with those
devices and you can re-install/connect them to your computer. Next, it could
be a video driver, maybe some kernel driver - who knows - and you will have
to troubleshoot from there.

good luck!

I have an external CD and an external HD in remote cases
attached to two computer usb 2.0 ports. They should be
drive E and drive K.
But Windows Xp home does not see them or recognize their
existance.
How do I get these two devices to show in the "My
Computer" listing of HD CD and DVD devices on the
computer?
Thanks
Bob Clarke

Right click on My Computer and select Manage. On the following screen,
click on Disk Management.

They should now appear on the right hand side of the screen from where you
can assign a drive letter.

My PC crashed and after I was able to send error
message to microsoft, it came back and said it was caused
by a bad device driver. It keeps crashing every hr. or
so. What can I do? tedvol45@aol.com
