  Hello

  More general fix is updated to the drivers, BIOS and chipset and different control software.

  WORKER_THREAD_RETURNED_AT_BAD_IRQL - STOP: 0X000000E1
  http://www.faultwire.com/solutions-fatal_error/WORKER_THREAD_RETURNED_AT_BAD_IRQL-0x000000E1-* 1224.html

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

• Error KeyCrypt64.sys with Comcast constant blue screen guard all modes in Windows 7

  I am quite experienced with computers and have worked as a technicial since Windows 3.1. I can usually understand something with enough research, but I'm here stummped. It is useful that I took out most of the work of tech and went into programming full-time about 6 years ago.

  In any case, I tried to first Windows 8 Windows 7 upgrade. I used the downloaded installer. It seems to be okay, but I'm excited and made the rookie mistake trying to update too much my apps before the next redΘmarrage - even if they had not, to my recollection, asked to reset. Now, all I get is a blue screen showing INTERRUPT_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED. I finally found the way to get into safe mode, and it does the same thing. Here are the relevant details:

  • Windows 8 Pro x 64
  • in place upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium x 64
  • Laptop HP dv6 - 2173cl
  • 4 GB of RAM, about 500 GB disk with about 90 GB free space remaining

  Here's what I stupidly installed without rebooting:

  • Comcast keeps constant (using Norton 360 and other tools), including, apparently, an AntiLogger

  First of all, the blue screen appears on the monitor secondary extrnal while that the Windows logo appears on the laptop itself.
  Second, the complete error message is "INTERRUPT_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (KeyCrypt64.sys). I tried even to rename the folder I found KeyCrypt64.sys from C:\program files (x 86) \KeyCryptSDK to KeyCryptBAD doesn't let me enter the system in safe mode or other means.  Having critical files that I can't save any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Just had to fix HP Elitebook my aunt with Win 7 x 64 and constant guard.  Restore points was far enough to solve the problem.  I really hate to reboot the computer, so I spent ten minutes on this one and had it work without too much trouble.  These steps require some special computer knowledge, a mouse external USB and a keyboard and another computer to work - so you may need to ask a friend to help.  But if you follow these instructions, I see no reason why you can not facing up and running without delay.

  As the BSOD gave us the name of the driver, I decided to rename it.  You can use a CD or bootable USB key, but since I have the tools I just removed the hard drive and connected on another computer.

  1) go to the folder \Windows\System32\Drivers on the disk with the BSOD problem

  (2) rename keycrypt64.sys to something like keycrypt64.sy ~ (that's the main culprit - part of constant guard)

  (3) rename hpqkbfiltr.sys in hpqkbfiltr.sy ~ (I had to do this one because after step 2, I got a BSOD for this driver.  This inadvertently disabled the touchpad and keyboard on the EliteBook, so I had to plug in a keyboard and a USB mouse)

  (4) connect a keyboard and an external USB mouse

  (4) reinstall the disk hard if you deleted it, or just reboot if you renamed the files in other words

  (5) uninstall the program telling guard from the Control Panel, programs and features

  (6) restart

  7) return to \Windows\System32\Drivers and rename hpqkbfiltr.sy ~ in hpqkbfiltr.sys

  (8) unplug your USB external mouse and keyboard and restart

  That's all.  Quick and easy for me, I hope this will help you too.

  I will not go into the details on constant guard program that was installed as part of the 'free' software with Norton, who provided his ISP, Comcast.  There are many resources on the Comcast forums.  And from 04/02/2013 I saw a post on the forums that says the problem has been fixed, but I'm not going to tempt fate and reinstall the constant guard.

• Constant blue screen of death without answers

  I had a constant problem several times a day with a blue screen of death, and Microsoft has no answers.

  I bought the last Windows 7 Ultimate edition teacher and yet when I try to enter the code it tells me it has 'expired' which makes no sense at all. If I'm relegated to this forum or pay $49 an hour to find out why Windows 7 sucks worse than any other edition I've ever known.

  I checked everything (I built the machine myself, so I'm not stupid on computers) and made sure that all drivers, bios and everything is up-to-date. There is NO hardware conflicts.

  The problem seems worse if I discover videos or use Windows media player, but even if I did not, I had no warning and suddenly, "BAM!" I get the countdown to 100 and it is stuck on the blue screen with a note saying "contact your administrator for more information.

  When I check the error log it says that the error is in Windows 7 in an "unknown problem".

  No data is ever passed to Windows for some reason any (which is really pissing me off because all other versions of Windows ALWAYS sent to the data to Microsoft before) except from time to time, but there is never a reference where the problem relates to.

  I spent a lot of money on this motherboard 790 - FX-GD70 MSI and a 6 core AMD processor. I have 16 GB of memory and it should be a State-of-the-art computer and it acts like a Windows 95 machine.

  Any suggestions?

  I was not able to say anything on their part and I had MSI look on them and they say they are "inconclusive" as to what the problem is.

  Errors are varied and seem to point to a hardware problem.

  Can you do the following? :

  Start > type eventvwr in the box "search programs and files", then press 'Enter' > expand "Custom views" and right click then "administrative events' > select ' save all events in a custom view as" and save it as a .evtx file

  Then do the .evtx file available via Windows Live SkyDrive.

• Strange problem code 39 on my Satellite A500-02J with constant blue screens

  I bought my Toshiba Satellite A500-02J 2-3 months ago and I opened my laptop this morning and I was not connected to the internet and had no installed audio device.

  Then I got a blue screen of death. I restarted my laptop and I went to the Device Manager to see that most of my drivers had the yellow exclamation mark with the super Code 39 error (windows didn't start my drivers for X reason...) and then I had a second blue screen. I was very careful from the beginning with this laptop and I know that this is not a virus since a did not something 'weird' with this computer. Best of all, it's that my USB ports no longer works and I can not backup my stuff important just in case...

  Thank you for helping me,

  Hi Odin

  It is not easy to say why this happens, but if there are so many problems, I advise you to install the new OS by using the HDD recovery procedure.
  Try to start your computer in safe mode and delete all data on the second partition.
  Start your laptop with F8 install OS using these instructions - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

  When you install the operating system by using this method of HARD drive recovery all data saved on the second partition will not be deleted.

  Because I can't get into any time except Linux, I'm really lost here.  I want to be able to start the windows mode that's before the crash, and now I'm lost.  Help, please.

  HI -.
  I was able to identify and solve the problem by fixing the MBR.  Since Linux working and Windows are not even in the installation program, it lead me to a clue.  I also enjoyed that it was a DELL machine.  So I basically ran a utility which sets the master boot record (MBR) and the partition information.  This allowed me to access the Dell restore partition.
  I could have checked once I fixed the MBR and tried to see if the problem is solved, but I missed it and simply returned in orginal factory State, once I was able to get the image-Ghost in the recovery partition.
  Thanks to Dan for the detailed documentation and the tool here:

• Constant blue screen Interrupt_Exception_Not_Handled restart

  I have a PC built home that went very well with random blue screens here and there for about a year. Recently, I noticed that the RAM has been installed correctly, which means two RAM sticks 8 GB total were in two layers of different colors. I ran windows memory check, and he said that memory has been corrupted once and then never again. I replaced the RAM stick in the corresponding channel on the other stick and the comp ran well for 3 days, then began to blue screen. I then uninstalled one of the RAM sticks and the computer ran perfectly for 2 weeks without blue screens. 2 days after a good windows I turn on the computer and it blue screens with error unhandled exception stop after 30 seconds with nothing else than the substantive programmes normal running. Now the computer does whenever I turn it on about 25-30 seconds after I log in to windows it will crash with the same error same addresses. I tried to change the RAM sticks, a stick in one channel, the other in the same channel, then tested again, still the same error of different channels. Safe mode works and scan sfc indicated no invalid file. CHKDSK has also indicate the correct memory. I don't know what happened. I tried to access memory dumps for display on skydrive, but the computer crashes too quickly.

• Cannot fill and sign the constant blue circle on the mouse.

  Hello

  I am writing today because my ticket 0188187579 have not yet been resolved. I am currently under the latest version of windows 10 that began to cause problems with Adobe Acrobat DC. This causes many problems for my end users. They were unable to save documents (disabling cloud save fixed that issue).  They are unable to sign documents. This continued blue circle NEVER goes away. We are using Adobe Acrobat DC 2015.006.30201. If I run the program as an administrator all these questions goes, but this isn't a solution for my end users. I followed all Adobe asked me to do after spending 3 hours with tech support. Their solution was to use cloud.adobe.com. But this isn't a good solution just a work around. Please help if I can get my users end operational return.

  Thank you

• Qosmio X 500-blue screens and video display problem

  Hi all

  I bought my Qosmio X 500 (PQX33A-02g00j) about 2 months ago and have had recurring problems, which fortunately I documented, with blue projection (actually this is my second unit as the 1st was defective).

  I have re-instanned factory three times and minimum the newest driver (one store told me version 188.75 and the card is a Gforce GTS 250 M). I note, there are a few forum posts dealing with or question on the screen flashing etc, but it was always going to re-start and blue screen

  The computer can do this 2 or 3 times in a row and then possible work for several days without any problem? This happens especially when im using Adobe or Word (not hungry graphics applications).
  Is there an answer to this problem here because next week it's back to the store for a full refund - whether they like it or not?

  Thanks for your time on this

• VI to determine the name of the project

  For a real-time application, I wanted to determine, at runtime, the name of the project in which the VI has been "content".  I wanted to get the name of the project (even) under four different conditions:

  • on the host, in development mode
  • on the host, in Run-Time mode (i.e. after being built as an executable)
  • on the goal of RT, development mode
  • on the aim of RT, in run mode.

  It is not so easy.  I figured out how to make the first two (use the name property of the active project development and use the next last folder directory of the Application in Run-Time mode mode), but I'm having trouble to get this information to get the target RT code.  Has anyone tried this before?  Did you?  Advice (or even downright Solutions)?

  Bob Schor

  Well, I figured out, but it's not pretty.  In the previous post, I explained why I wanted to do - here I will explain how I did this.

  There are three main modes, under which Applications can run: development mode (when you are programming in LabVIEW and press the button "Run"), Run Time System (an executable on a PC) and Embedded (code that runs on a target in real time, in the form of executable file or development).  Of these, only one mode of development gives you access live (via the Application, the active project property) in the name of the project file.  My goal is to have the user interface and the RT 'chunks' of the project in real time have access on behalf of the project, the system I'll create will use same code on two subsystems, meaning that it will run on the PC at least once in the mode of development .

  The key step is to create a 'constant VI', I'll call CONST name of the project, which consists of a single indicator of string, name of the project, which "held" the name of the project.  I initially thought to use a Global Variable, but there is a technical problem with that I will mention later.  I didn't use CONST name of the project directly, but, instead, use a 'Get the project name' VI that has, for its single release, the name of the project.

  This VI, when it runs, determines the type of request under which it is running.  If it is something other than the Mode of development, he calls CONST project name and returns its value.  If this is the Mode of development, it gets the name of the project, he returned, but just before leaving, he arranges to be updated programmatically CONST project name when it is called in the future, it will return the name of the project (update).  [Then why not simply initialize CONST project name?  I'm looking for a "generic" solution that will always return the correct value, even if I move to another project and don't remember about the change and change - all I have to do to make it work is to run once in the mode of development.  Who has ever developing code without testing before making the executable?].

  I wrote a VI gave the name of project Save, which does the following: he calls set the timer on CONST project name to define the name of the new project (this works even if we put an indicator), calls to use current default to make the new value "stick" and called "Instrument to save" to save the changes.  The problem is that CONST project name cannot be "running" in the State to use current default work without raising an error.  If the name of the Save project is simply called as a Subvi to get a project name, it will be in the State of operation as it is used in the case of non-development mode to get a project name.  The solution to this witch hunt is to use the asynchronous call with-and-Forget 'spawn' name of the Save project.  Finally, we modify register project name so that it starts with a loop "wait", examinging the State of execution of CONST name project and waiting for it to exit the executing State, indicating that it is prudent to make the change.

  Phew!  But it works!  Oddly enough, when I tried this using a Global Variable instead of my Constant VI, I kept getting errors during execution are currently lacking, but despite the mistakes, the code seemed to run correctly.  I found an article (written for LabVIEW 5!) explaining that it was expected as Globals behavior were always in the State of operation.  Actually, I just realized that I had not tried with the call-and-Forget asynchronous schema, then perhaps a decade later, LabVIEW will allow me to do this using a Global without raising an error...
