I have a user that gets a "page fault in nonpaged area Bad
Pool Caller" error message. What is this and how can I fix
it. Thanks in advance...
The non-paged area of RAM is used to hold essential central components
of the system that must never be paged-out by virtual memory management
to the page file. But something is trying to access one and is being
told that it *has* been paged out. Because these modules have had such
heavy use there are unlikely to be bugs left that would directly cause
such a fault, so RAM trouble or possibly corruption of the files on hard
disk are the most likely cause if it appears related to a system
component. But there are some third party packages that take up
residence there too, and they are more suspect. Some Symantec software
does so, so if you have say Norton Internet Security or their Live
Update, I would try the effect of disabling that and see.
