Stop:0x000000B8 on Windows 2000 Professional

[Guest]

I get an error message when turning on my computer that say
stop:0x000000B8(0x00000000,0x0000000,0x00000000,0x00000000)
a wiat operation, yield or hold was attempted on DPC Routine

Once the computer is rebooted the check up program adjust some files from
AOL and all is fine until next time I turn on the computer. Has anyone
experienced a similar situation and any suggestions on how to resolve it?

Thanks

What service pack level are you on?

Hi Steve, I'm on Service Pack 4 and I am not aware of using any parallel
ports or zip drives. I reinstalled Service Pack 4 based on a recommendation
from the self support article but I seem to continue having the same issue.
I am thinking it may be related to my AOL program?? or could be caused by my
wireless card or router?
Have you experienced the same issue?

This is a shot in the dark:

I've found that some anti-virus/spyware programs along with some brands of
firewalls have a conflict with wireless connections. AOL just bundled some
piss poor version of McGaffee [sic] into their software didn't they?
