"IRQL Not Less Or Equal" Error Message

[Jeff]

Upgraded from ME to XP Pro and have had no problems. But
now I get this error message from time to time and it
mentions new hardware....I have not installed any. Thanks!

You may not have added any hardware, but you had plenty of it when you had
WindowsME. Something is troubling XP that did not perhaps trouble ME in the
same way.

Usually means bad hardware and a bad driver. Check Event Logs and
Device Manager for any problems.
