IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)

caused by drivers using improper addresses.
If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace.
Arguments:
Arg1: 000001b4, memory referenced
Arg2: 00000002, IRQL
Arg3: 00000001, value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
Arg4: 81b98002, address which referenced memory

Hi,

it (maybe) was my ram:

i did a memtest (with a boot cd), and i got about 800 errors for one of my two 256 mb ram ...

See photos in the attachment !

steve

i wil switch to win xp, because you can´t work with 256 mb and vista...

[Sam_Zen]

It could be that you use the worst OS ever.

LOL

Quite a while ago, I already decided to stick with W2K, no more upgrades, because I noticed a growing number of problems with XP on all kinds of software-forums. Now these tendencies are still worse after the introduction of Vista.
So I'm still glad I made that decision.

Btw : what's a .pdb file ?

- it certainly has its admirers!

[Sam_Zen]

Yep - but feel relieved : soon the first patch will be available..

[matera]

Why does that fail to inspire confidence...

[chauncey]

Oh but if I had been smart enough to stick with Apple 25 years ago, all those "upgrades" would have been money in the bank!
