For about the last three weeks, I periodically received the BSOD with
a C05 stop. Prior to this I had downloaded a driver upgrade for my
Intel Pro Wireless 2100 3B Mini PCI Adaptor from HP (I own a Pavilion
zt3010us laptop). The Spectrum24 Event Monitor came with the driver
upgrade. Nothing I tried corrected the problem. I subsequently
upgraded to XP SP2. My BSOD changed from the C05 stop to the
0x00000019 stop immediately after upgrade.

Thanks to this post, I disabled the Spectrum24 Event Monitor service
and for the past day and a half, no BSOD. If my system remains stable
for another few days, I will notify Intel and HP of the issue.

Thanks Gord!
