IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error message



I received this stop error on a blue screen:

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage
to your computer.
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Tech info at bottom reads:
STOP 0X0000000A (0XF891A100,0x00000002,0x00000001,0x804D9BBA)

After reading advice on this board, I enabled the Driver Verifier and the
error message changed to:
A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage
to your computer.
A device driver attempting to corrupt the system has been caught. The faulty
driver currently on the kernel stack must be replaced with a working version.
At the bottom:
STOP 0x000000C4 (0x00000030,0x00000016,0x0000002,0x00000000)

Please help me - what do I do next? I've been trying to fix this for ages
and I'm getting nowhere. I can only run in Safe Mode. I thought I'd
uninstalled the printer driver which probably started this problem (using
Add/Remove pgms), but the problem continues. I cannot reinstall and uninstall
the software (as suggested by HP) because the installation fails because the
Print Spooler is not enabled in Safe Mode. I cannot restore to an earlier
date because the System Restore option was OFF (darn it) - this is a
reburbished computer.

System Info:
MS Windows XP Profession V 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600
Dell Latitude D400 laptop
SMBIOS version 2.3

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
