this is a freinds computer he was getting a blue screen saying bad-pool-header, so i figured it could be program confliction or virus so i restore the system, deleting all partisions first. Reformating with xp pro this didn't work (note he has no recorce disk). He said he added ram for a recording program, and it never went to the blue screen before he installed it, but he got ram from pc store and they looked up the specs he needed.
1- system failer, his computer keeps reseting it's self or comming to the blue screen of death saying "bad-pool-header" I sent a error report and saved what it brought me to. This got so bad the computer kept reseting itself before windows even loded. C:\WINDOWS\Minidump. four files atached.
2-"service pack has encountered a problem and need to close" this has happend servil times. but not recently.
3-"inernet explor has encountered a problem and needs to close" again happened servil times.
4- network controler is not reconized in the device management. I used add new hardware wizard and conected to the inernet winh my linksys external card, windows cannot find software . I believe this is need for him to connect to wireless. Also multimedia audio controller, pci modem, viedo controller, video controller (vga compatible) none of theses are reconiced. I have looked driverguide and everywhere cant find anything. He has a dell Inspiron 2200 laptop.
5- hardley any programs will install, they are saying file is corrupt. It done this before i reformated his computer too. Itunes wont install, is says quick time is needed to run itunes. I downloded it, but it gives me an error reading of "The cabinet file quicktime.cab required for this installation is corrupt, this could indicate a network error, an error reading from the cd-rom, or problem with the package. Ad-ware is all i got to install.
