NO_MORE_IRP_STACK_LOCATIONS - blue screen error
Hope someone can help. Here’s the story so far. (I use Windows XP)
Mr computer has the blue screen message NO_MORE_IRP_STACK_LOCATIONS.
I hadn’t installed any new hardware. I tried System Restore which did nothing and and can only boot up into safe mode. Could it have been caused by a virus ? My Virus shield has been disabled (my subscription expired, and although the computer wasn’t connected to the internet I am wondering whether or viruses held in quarantine may have escaped when the virus shield stopped ?).
Anyway, I have looked into this (and as suggested) and gone into the registry to increase the stack locations, there weren’t any that I could see when I went into the registry, so I had to create them. This had not effect.
I then decided to do a repair installation of Windows XP. However, when I tried to do this, after the files had loaded from the CD, I had the message, “Set up did not find any Hard Drives installed on your computer”. I know the Hard Drive is connected as I can see all the files fine in Safe Mode.
Also when I boot up the only drives I can see are the floppy drive, DVD Drive and FT TX Ary1. Not sure what the last one is ? Should I see the Hard Drive when I boot up and could this be part of the problem ?
There has been a previous post http://www.techspot.com/vb/all/windo...ur-system.html by tyleryoungblood about this but I am not sure whether I should try this bearing in mind what my initial error message was.
I decided to buy a External Hard Drive to copy my files across before doing a clean install of window, however, the computer could not see the HD when I plugged it into the USB port.
Any help would be much appreciated. I’ve gone as far as I can on my own.
Thanks
