That is what I get after running 5 minutes of Luna. my system operation is Win2k Pro. and my drivers are for win2k.

What am I supposed to do to solve the enigma??.....

Thank you responder. :smile:

Does it state which file there is an error in?

I had exactly this message for an unsteady placement of video card. After I driverwise and physically removed it and reinstalled, it stopped. It could be another peripheral though...

Check cards placement to begin.

In other words its an IRQ conflict. First thing I recommend you do is go into your BIOS (accessed at boot via a keypress) and disable any devices you're not using (Parallel,serial etc).

I had the seem message sometimes during Win 2000 boot up after the installation of Scope 4.0.
Since two days I'm trying to run the system without Luna board and without SFP software; I've had no error messages yet.
Let me know if you get any news about.

DEFINITELY a hardware problem. either you are sharing an irq with the cwa card and something else on your system, or you have a faulty peice of hardware. the cwa card uses the pci bus HARD and will show up any defects in a hurry.

to check for irq shating go to programs/accessories/system tools/system information/hardware resources/sharing. what do you see?

It's not a runtime error.
The "blue screen of death" come out sometimes during win2000 boot up. In the message appears just the memory address and "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL".
For me it started after Scope 4.0 installation.

Which video board do you have installed, Amitos?

Also it should be mentioned that ACPI support in win2k is horrible...sussing out IRQ conflicts will be much easier with the Standard PC HAL (listed under Computer in device manager).

Ok... now let me start by saying that when I worked bofore with the same hardware on Windows 98 it didnt have this problam.

Music Manic- the file is scope.sys ...

vails- I am not totally sure which devices I'm not using..

Cochise- I can assure you that your problem related to the scope if it is similar to my problem. when I had disable the scope driver no problems appeared. By the way my video card is an onboard 'Gigabyte' device.

garyb- I dont really think my hardware is a faulty peice, as I said it did work fine with windows 98... NOW, I did what you told me to do, and in that 'Hardware resources/shared' I saw a conflict between "Creamware DST" and "intel(R) USB universal bla bla bla.." what next?


thank you all very much... :smile:

Hi Amitos,

I have just solved this problem on my machine, and it took a long time to find the source of the problem!

However, it turned out to be my ATI RADEON 9700 video card! Not that it was faulty or anything, but somehow the drivers were installed incorrectly! I had to uninstall the drivers from the device manager and use the "ATI Uninstaller" to delete anything related to the video card, and reinstall the drivers! After doing this, I haven't had a problem!

It's VERY easy to check if this is your problem too! Just uninstall the drivers for your video card through the Device Manager, restart the computer, and do NOT reinstall the drivers right away. Then try to make your machine crash again by doing whatever normally makes it crash! If this solves the BSOD problem, you should download and install the newest drivers for the video card or contact the manufacturer for a solution.

Hope that it helps! :smile:

Thomas.

Yes this is definitely a driver problem
You said Scope sys.
Have you installed over old version?
Try clean install.
Microsoft state its driver problem.

the usb sharing may or may not cause a problem. if you are using a usb mouse keyboard or controller it's fatal. try moving the card to a different slot. xp handles interrupts differently than 98 so things may need to be configured a little differently. do you have unnessessary devices and ports disabled in the bios?

Damn it... the troubles just keep coming and coming..
I may have resulted the first problem- no blue screen anymore. What I did is uninstalled the USB drivers. but now there's a much more frustrating problem- The god damn PC boots itself!!!! now, I looked for possible logs at the Event viewer and here's what I found:

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x000000d1 (0xeb946000, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0xbfe0f853). Microsoft Windows 2000 [v15.2195]. A dump was saved in: C:WINNTMinidumpMini111404-03.dmp.

Guys....... WTF?? I'm on the verge of expiring here!!!! where is god now haa?!

Thanks again. Amitos

Other people here using win2000 + Scope 4.0?

Ok correction- the blue screen DOES appear. and this "0x000000d1" problem turned out to be the exact same problem. so the problem hasnt solved yet.
I've tried to remove the card to another slot and now in the IRQ hardware conflicts there is no conflict between the Creamware card and any other card. but still this f**king problem kicks......

any other ideas?

I need psychiatric help.
Now it's for me like a kind of subliminal message...

Hey Amitos, do you have the same bug installing SFP 3.1c version?

Posted: Sun Nov 14, 2004 12:34 pm
by Music Manic
Can you disable things you don't need to see if problem occurs.Then if it's ok start turning on other devices until it happens.

Cochise- I'm not sure what is SFP 3.1v.. if you mean the Luna software, then yea.. this is what i work with. and the bug appears.

music maniac- you mean disaling in the bios or in the device manager?
