Hotspot Shield keeps causing Bad_Pool_Caller BSOD

kbronski · 12 Mar 2012

I am dual booting Win 7 Home Prem x64 and Win 8 CP x64.

I run HotSpot Shield because my college has a network security that logs your activity (Sonicwall), and I find it to be a little too invading on my privacy. However, I find that HSS keeps causing BSODs while waking from hibernate (whether I'm running 7 or 8). I don't know if this is due to dual booting or simply because HSS runs a virtual network adapter, but I'd like to get it to work properly.

Unfortunately Hotspot doesnt play well with others. It has known issues and is a bear to diagnose.

There are other VPN clients.

I have been well satisfied with vpnsecure.me for $9.95 per month. Secure and does not effect machine.
