Well... I loved XP up until a week ago.
You regulars to this forum probably read about my System Restore program failing completely.
Well, I decided to bite the bullet and run a Repair installation
of XP.
It started off innocent enough, copying files to my hard drive,
and telling me it had to reboot to continue. After rebooting,
the XP screen popped up with the blue progress bar, and then
the secondary setup screen flashed on the screen for half a second before I was greeted by a blue screen of death.
NO_MORE_IRP_STACK_LOCATIONS
I can't boot to Safemode because setup is running.
I can't boot to the last known good menu because setup
is running.
I tried running the Repair again, with the same results.
Don't bother with the MS Support web site regarding this message, because they only have two entries about Intellipoint software, which I don't have.
The only thing I've changed since installing XP Pro was the
installation of my USB card reader, which isn't plugged into my
PC.
Here is the info. I found on this error:
"A higher level driver has attempted to call a lower level driver through the IoCallDriver() interface, but there are no more stack locations in the packet, so the lower level driver would not be able to access its parameters, as there are no parameters for it. This is a disastrous situation, since the higher level driver thinks it has filled in the parameters for the lower level driver (something it MUST do before calling the lower level driver); however, since there is no stack location for the latter driver, the former has written off of the end of the packet. This means that some other memory has probably been corrupted."
I think I'm screwed here, but I have two questions:
1. Does anyone know how to stop the setup process from the
command line?
2. Can someone tell me how to move my Outlook Express email
database via command line, just in case I have to reformat?
3. I'm running a legit XP Pro Corp. version but I need the product
ID number to use free MS Support. Does anyone know how
to get this from a command line?
