NETIO.SYS BSOD Windows updates + Remove XP Pro Boot

mfx said:

Hi

Another BSOD with W7x86 upgrade from XP to W7 Home/Family edition.

Recently installed the update over exisiting XP Pro which I was going to reinstall all going fine.

• Updated all W7 files and drivers, Windows7 installed.
• Installed few minor apps everything ok.
• Installed MS Office 2007 again ok
• Went to update after office install via Windows 7 startmenu.
• Finds 21security updates and 2 optional, selected all (and tried selecting just essentials)

Start to download and install from Windows7 Update in start menu and then BSOD with NETIO.SYS issue.

Message on reboot :

Have attached both in ZIP files (hope that's ok not sure if there's any personal data so let me know asap).

2) Before the upgrade I was going to reinstall XP and I have a Bootup option in DOS for Windows7 or Windows XP Professional Installation. This didn't have anything to do with the BSOD as was fine fora couple of days till installed MS Office and attempting latest windows update.

Have used BCD and W7 is reporting W7 as the only boot option, guessing it's somewhere deeper in the MBR so need some advice please.

System hardware is old but scores around 4.0 in the W7 compatibility whichis fine as it's just a basic office machine.

Where do we start.

1-Zone alarm is causing these crashes. remove it and replace with the built in win 7 driver.

2-Eset remove it and replace with Microsoft Security essentials

3-Old drivers needing updating

Beyond that, please run Verifier with these settings:

Using Driver Verifier is an iffy proposition. Most times it'll crash and it'll tell you what the driver is. But sometimes it'll crash and won't tell you the driver. Other times it'll crash before you can log in to Windows. If you can't get to Safe Mode, then you'll have to resort to offline editing of the registry to disable Driver Verifier.

So, I'd suggest that you first backup your stuff and then make sure you've got access to another computer so you can contact us if problems arise. Then make a System Restore point (so you can restore the system using the Vista/Win7 Startup Repair feature).

Then, here's the procedure:
- Go to Start and type in "verifier" (without the quotes) and press Enter
- Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next"
- Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click "Next"
- Select everything EXCEPT FOR "Low Resource Simulation" and click "Next"
NOTE: You can use Low Resource Simulation if you'd like. From my limited experimentation it makes the BSOD's come faster.
- Select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"
Then select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"
- Select "Finish" on the next page.

Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen. Continue to use your system normally, and if you know what causes the crash, do that repeatedly. The objective here is to get the system to crash because Driver Verifier is stressing the drivers out. If it doesn't crash for you, then let it run for at least 36 hours of continuous operation (an estimate on my part).

Reboot into Windows (after the crash) and turn off Driver Verifier by going back in and selecting "Delete existing settings" on the first page, then locate and zip up the memory dump file and upload it with your next post.

If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.
If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from your installation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that you created.

If that doesn't work, post back and we'll have to see about fixing the registry entry off-line:

Code:

Delete these registry keys (works in XP, Vista, Win7):
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\VerifyDrivers
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\VerifyDriverLevel
