Please more help with following Error Msg



I received this reply from Andrew E. but it is not step by step
enough for my limited knowledge of computers..... I don't know how to
disable BIOS caching or shadowing either, as it says to do. And I
still can't keep the program QuickTime from starting everytime I start
my computer. Thanks for any additional help I can get!

DRIVER_IRQL,is usually a hardware related issue,open event viewer & get
specific info when this took place,or go to run,type:Msinfo32 Chk >the
hardware
tree,problem devices..As for programs starting,go to run,type:services.msc
In msc,double click on the service,set to manual or disable..>

"I am not computer savvy, but this is what it says mostly:

"Driver_IRQL_Not_Less_Or_Equal

Make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. Ask for
any windows updates you might need.

If problem continues disable or remove any newly installed hardware or
software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If
you need to use safe modeto remove ot disable components, restart
computer, press F8 to select Advanced Start up options and then select
safe mode.

So anyway, it has happened on a few occassions. I don't know what to
do to fix this!
Also can you get a program to quit starting up everytime you start your computer ?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! TIA
