How to Recover From KB936357 Blue Screen of Death

[PA Bear [MS MVP]]

I thought that might be the case! <eg>

<QP>
0x00000019: BAD_POOL_HEADER
A pool header issue is a problem with Windows memory allocation. Device
driver issues are probably the most common, but this can have diverse causes
including bad sectors or other disk write issues, and problems with some
routers. (By theory, RAM problems would be suspect for memory pool issues,
but I haven’t been able to confirm this as a cause.)

In any event, please begin your own new thread if you need further
assistance, mrchillz. (I doubt KB936357 had/has anything to do with your
problem.)

It's all wrong.
After clean install of Windows XP Professional, and registering/activating,
and doing the updates, I'm getting still BSOD with the message of that my
original version isn't legal.
Yeah right.
I'm thinking of switching to Unix or Linux, if i even can't windows get to
run properly.
After my antivirus program got me saying there's a virus messing about from
the update site, i'm not trusting microsoft anymore.
