Hi gaggan,

Have you tried as scottc suggested and updated the AVG antivirus? It
sounds like he can help you get Magic Folders to work. I don't have any
symbol information for those files so he would have to do the debugging for
you.

It took a while before it crashed again, but here's what is diplayed on the
blue screen ...

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

STOP: 0x000000D1 (0x2163BB30, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0xF9955085)

airplus.sys - Address F9955085 base at F9953000 datestamp 3e65d06c


I have a D-Link AirPlus wireless network adapter and the system was
accessing another computer on my home network (using the Windows backup
utility to back up the hard drive on the other computer) at the time it
crashed. At the same time, I was using Windows Media Player to listen to web
radio.

Any suggestions?

Hi, Roddy.

Since nobody else jumped in with the magic cure, maybe I can point you in
the right direction.

You might start here:
TROUBLESHOOTING
WINDOWS STOP MESSAGES

http://aumha.org/win5/kbestop.php

First read the intro info at the top, the scroll way down to Stop 0xD1. As
it says, "The most typical cause is a bad device driver (one that uses
improper addresses)."

So the first step would be to visit the D-Link website and be sure you have
the latest and greatest WinXP driver for your AirPlus. Also, check any FAQs
or other information available there.

But the AumHa page also says, "It can also be caused by caused by faulty or
mismatched RAM, or a damaged pagefile." Have you run a memory test
recently?

Thanks for the response.

I have downloaded the current DLink driver and I will research a later STOP
message I received too (0x1 re Npfs.sys). Thanks for pointing me in the
right direction. I may be back with more questions!
