I got the following error message on start up this morning, on my laptop (
Dell Inspiron 8600) -- I'll shorten it a bit:

A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent
damage
to your computer.

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

If this is the first time you've sen this stop error screen, restart. If
screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed.
If
this is new installation, ask hw or sw mfr nor any windows updates.

If problem continues disable or remove any new hw or sw. Disable BIOS
memory options such as caching or shadowing.
If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restartand
prss F8, then select safe mode.

Technical info:
***STOP 0X000000D1 (0X00000068, 0X00000002,0X00000001, 0XF772E1F6)
*** W70n51.sys - address F772E1F6 base at F7711000, datestamp 3ee 71b51

Contact yr system admin. or tech suppport group for further assistance.

OK -- so -- I have no new hardware or software. It last ran a cd of my
photos from Vietnam and Cambodia which I made myself on my desktop. I
shut
it down last night and now this -- I've removed the CD by the way. I was
able to start up in Safe mode, but don't know how to do anything from
that
point. How do I stop caching and shadowing for example?

I've got WinXP home edition with all service packs.

Anybody with any wisdom, please post it! Thanks.

W70n51.sys is an Intel driver for wireless adapter. You may find some
answers about the problem by searching the Internet. There may be an update
on Intel's site which cures the problem.
