Netbt.sys error

I'm currently being driven up the wall by an almost constant "blue screen"
error. The message "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" usually makes reference
to the file NETBT.SYS. However, in the Microsoft Knowledge Base, everything
I can find relating to either the error message or the referenced file are
for either Windows 2000 or Windows NT. I can find nothing that relates to
Win XP. Most of the references are to a Windows NT server.

So - does anyone know what I can try to fix an XP installation with this
problem? Right now the machine is almost useless, since I get the "crash"
every few minutes.

Thanks
 
Disable the CD device in device manager, and see if the error stops. If so,
you need a better CD driver.
 
Mark, thanks for the suggestion. I never considered the CD driver, since I
have never had this error when using the CD drive. Its certainly worth a try.
