BSOD 0x0000007E Error

[Guest]

Ok I have recently upgraded to Vista and I now been greeted with the BSOD
Error Screen. Can anyone tell me what this code is telling me the problem is?

0x0000007E (0xc0000005, 0x92D89498, 0x8B3CFBFC, 0x8B3CF8F8)

WUSB54GCx86.sys- Address 92D89498 base at 92D7c000, Datestamp 45c04cc9

I was wondering what this error means and I was wondering if it means
anything that WUSB54GC is my wireless adapter, is the software/hardware issue
with my Adapter?

Hi,

You're right on target. The file is a driver for your wireless USB adapter.
You may need an updated one from the manufacturer as this one is apparently
not Vista compliant.

Wow Thanks. Its funny how one little thing can cause such a mess. I mean
everytime I called any of the support lines they would tell me the same line
'Reinstall Vista and check each of my video cards and memory sticks', It
would have never fixed the problem.

I got off the phone with a Linksys represenative and although he checked a
lot of things I didn't feel very comfortable, so thing I got to thinking and
really this doesn't make any sense. WUSB54GC is a Compact Wireless G Adapter
which would be the correct name for a driver that is not made for Vista but
that isn't the name of the driver that is malfunctioning the name is
WUSB54GCx86. I was looking in the driver folders and the newest one from
linksys for VIsta is WUSB54GC_v3.0.1.0\VISTAX86. The driver malfunctioning is
the most recent one so I have no idea what to do now.

Hi,

Check the properties of the adapter in device manager, and see what driver
is in use. You may need to simply point it to another one. There is also the
possibility that this is the right driver file, but it is corrupted in some
fashion and needs to be replaced.
