i am getting the blue screen and it says Bad_Pool_Caller. I can't get into windows, not even in safe mode. it just goes to the blue screen and says

Technical Information:
***STOPl 0x000000c2 (0x00000043,0xCEA61000,0x00000000,0x00000000)

It dumps the physical memory and reboots but just goes right back to the blue screen and does it all over again.

Apparently its a bad installation of hardware/software. So the last thing I installed was Quicktime which i downloaded from the site. After that the last thing i did was defragment the computer, so i dont know if by defragmenting i messed some of the files.

I tried going through Dos and removing Quicktime, but i couldnt figure out how to do it, if its at all possible. If there is someway to remove a program through Dos maybe that would work? i dont know.

I tried repair installing Windows from the cd, but it didnt see it.

So if anyone could figure this out, that would be great. Thanks!

I'm using a Compaq Presario, Windows XP.

im guessin its this one because it has the x50 in it but there are only 3 paramaters i think

Cannot free a non-allocated paged pool address.• Parameter 1 = 0x50 : Attempt to free a non-allocated paged pool address
• Parameter 2 = Starting address
• Parameter 3 = Start the offset in the pages from the beginning of the paged pool
• Parameter 4 = Size in bytes of the paged pool

I am having the same 0043 bad pool caller that happened while defragmenting my hard drive - I have run chkdsk /r and it has not fixed the problem. Windows XP will boot up, and at the point it says "loading personal settings" the bsod appears with 0x000000C2 (0x00000043, ...) - the windows website simply says error 43 is rare, but does not say what causes it. After seeing your post of a 43 error and mentioned it happened during defragmenation, I am guessing I have the same problem - did you ever get this fixed?
