I also have a problem with the ndis.sys driver.
it caused a "invalid_work_queue_item" blue screen error
and stated that it's ndis.sys.
It crashes everythign time I turn on the laptop in normal
mode. I played gunbound too, but i haven't played it for
a few weeks and this error is not only shutting down teh
game, it's my laptop that got shut down.

I am not a computer expert and I have no idea how to fix
it. Please can you help me?
How to do repair install? How to update the driver?
I saw that the ndis.sys has version number 5.1.2600.1106.
the ntoskrnl.exe has version number 5.1.2600.1151 and
hal.dll has version number 5.1.2600.1106.
Please help me...millions of thanks in advance
