Client on a stable system running Windows XP home edition. Athlon 1.3GHZ with 506MB RAM (some of it,up to 8MB, shared with video or bios shadowed?). It;s a compuke 5315KS ALL service packs and critical updates installed. For full specs: go here (http://h20015.www2.hp.com/en/document.jhtml?reg=&plc=&lc=en&cc=us&cat=prodinfo&prodId=compaqpres93203&docName=c00009490) Use LANtasic as the network operating system. System has developed a series of bizarre error messages incluiding
IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL
BAD_POLL_CALLER
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
There is an additional error message, not in my notes, that points to the LANtasic client AFSD.SYS. After searching the MS site it could be:
A) A bad driver
B) Bad RAM
C) Other bad hardware
This provides little guidance on where to begin to troubleshoot this. I guess before I re-install the NIC driver, pull the RAM and test it, ininstall and re-install LANtastic, check the video and sound card drivers I was wondering if any of you have experienced these error messages before?
I have not yet run the spyware software to check for malware or a full virus scan.
The system grinds to a halt with a BSOD and the system has to be restarted from the tower. I will send an e-mail to the maker of LANtastic to see if they have any ideas. The problem only occurs when accessing word processing documents on the server and only in one folder. I checked the hard drive on the server and it is OK. All other computers (WIN9X) can access the files without a problem.
If this is a LANtastic problem, why does it only happen when accesing files in one particular folder? It occcurs in WordPerfect or in Windows Explorer. I think the Lantastic file comes up because it's browsing the network when the error occurs.
Anyway
