Driver unloaded without cancelling pending operations

[tgrillot]

I was having trouble with my mouse so I plugged another one into a USB slot.
Later I disconnected the second mouse and got a BSOD. When i rebooted I got
the subject message, with reference to LHidvlt2.sys, which I've discovered is
a Logitech driver. I plugged the mouse back in and rebooted and got a
different BSOD, "Page fault in non-paged area."
In desperation I installed a second copy of Windows XP, which will boot, but
does not give me access to all my settings and programs from the original OS.
Now I have two copies of XP, one which won't boot, and one that boots but
will probably require a reinstallation of everything. Where should I go from
here?

Thanks,
Tom

Why didn't you do a repair install of XP?

So this machine is dual-booting two copies of XP now, or was the second
installation on a different machine?

In answer to PaulM, I tried that first, but it got to a point where it wanted
a password, which I couldn't find. I will check out the site you included -
thanks.

In answer to Olorin, the machine is dual-booting two copies of XP now,
except that the original version won't boot - can't get it past the BSOD.

Thanks for the responses

I would start with booting into safe mode on the original load and
uninstalling all Logitech software/drivers

The latest: On the advice of David B, I renamed the two sys files in the
original windows\system32\drivers to xxx.old. Then I went back and tried the
repair option again, and this time it worked. I think I got into the
"restore console" or whatever it's called, before. Anyway, got it repaired,
all my desktop icons and stuff were there, but neither mouse worked! So,
shut down, removed batteries from original mouse, moved the corded mouse to
another usb slot, rebooted, and BSOD... back to the start. So, I can
probably get it to boot by repeating my earlier steps, but once it's up, how
do I get the mouse to work. Tried reinstalling drivers - no luck.

Thanks, again
