DEP Driver error after SP2 upgrade
Howdy,
We're testing SP2 for deployment at work and as soon as I installed it I got a STOP error because of a driver problem. This page has the information on the 0x000000FC error I got: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;886348 It lists 2 workarounds which include 1) Disabling the driver causing the probelm and 2) Turning off DEP. Since I have no way of knowing which driver that might be causing the problem, I had to use option 2 which did seem to work. However, is there some way I can run a utility or check something to find out which driver on my system is the one that's incompatible with DEP? I have plenty of drivers on my Dell D610 but have no idea which one it might be that's having issues. Thanks for any help. --Mr B |

Anyone have any ideas? As a quick relatively safe first stab at it I would try booting into Safe mode and see if the problem goes away. That uncouples some of the drivers and seems like it would divide the problem roughly in half. But that's just my preferred problem solving method.

Anyone have any ideas? As a second quick trial I'd list all the drivers&devices on the machine and post the list in the alt.sys.pc-clone.dell newsgroup to see if anyone there might notice a Dell specific problem. But that seems unlikely to turn up an answer. "Mr B" wrote: Howdy, We're testing SP2 for deployment at work and as soon as I installed it I got a STOP error because of a driver problem.

I was able to get the error to go away already but booting to safe mode and
doing the Workaround listed on the link in my OP. That copmeltely turned off that check so I can now boot fine. Main thing I was looking for is if there's some sort of utility that could be run on a system BEFORE SP2 is installed that will check the drivers so I can know if a computer is going to have the problem after SP2 goes on or not. Just wanted to be proactive instead of reactive but if MS didn't provide a tool to do that, I guess I can't. "Don Taylor" wrote: "=?Utf-8?B?TXIgQg==?=" writes: Anyone have any ideas?

For a year I've been thinking that SP2 could have checked for and pointed out a whole variety of problems BEFORE installing itself. Just wanted to be proactive instead of reactive but if MS didn't provide a tool to do that, I guess I can't. What they hell where they thinking?!?! My apologies for this stuff they sell and call software "Don Taylor" wrote: "=?Utf-8?B?TXIgQg==?=" writes: Anyone have any ideas?
