Hi,
I recently bought a new video card for my computer because my old one died. I removed the old driver, then restarted and got a BSoD before completing the startup. I'm able to boot in Safe Mode, but I can't get an internet connection (don't know why) and it's required to install the new card's driver. Is the driver the issue or something else? Here's the error message:
BAD_POOL_CALLER_
STOP: 0x000000C2 (0x00000007, 0x0000113D, 0x 0000006C, 0x985591D8)
I'm running Vista Home 32bit by the way. Thanks.

It seems that any device on your PC that uses a USB cable can cause it. Try taking out any USB cables you have plugged in. Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any Windows updates you might need. If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.

This behavior can occur because the device drivers that are included with some versions of IomegaWare are not compatible with Windows 2000.
