BSOD on XP Home

I got feed back from a customer that they get a BSOD saying that the drivers
were unsigned - what does this, at it normally does not happen.

Methinks the message should say something like “this may happen if the
driver is not verified or blah blah blah”, try to get the BSOD code
rather than the message…

You might suggest to them that they take their digital camera and take a picture of the screen and send you a picture of the screen - this approach seems to work even with the most na?ve of users.

Hi Jim,
unsigned drivers does not give bsod. Based on the info you gave, your driver
crashes during initialization. This is because
the system crashes immediately after windows gave a “unsigned driver”
message.
check your driverentry, adddevice routines for any assumptions you made
specific to your system.

Good Luck,
Ramesh
