"No more IRP stack locations?"
Mon Apr-07-03 01:54 AM

          

My computer for the second time recently gave me a blue screen and the above message and then said it was shutting down (but didn't) but it did freeze, so I had to restart after which all was OK.

So, what are IRP stack locs' and why are they in short supply? Can I eliminate/reduce the occurance of this problem?

Thanks almess.

I'll get my teeth into that lot later. Having had a quick look though, those links are at the limits of my computer knowledge.

I get the impression this is related to my recent regular mp3 downloads sessions.

You got any links for computer dimwits?

Maggie, I truly did not mean to offend you, if I did in any way I apologize. You asked So, what are IRP stack locs' and why are they in short supply? and I tired to give you some good reading on the subject while I looked for more and better answers for you. I am a computer dimwit also so don't feel all alone. Hopefully we got a nice friendly thread going here and one of our good engineers will kick in and help us out and we will both learn something about this and you will get your problem fixed.

No you didn't offend me. I didn't understand any of it either. That is why I checked Google. I thought if Miggy might see something that clicked. I do enjoy learning but I need the big picture. Hopefully I never see that error. Hope I didn't offend you by posting that.

No offense on my end. From what I see it could be from any number of
things, why don't you post all software and such you have installed,I even saw an instance of it with a lan card so any info on what you have will be helpful to someone familiar with this I would think.

Hi Guys.

I seem to have missed something somewhere. Almess, is your second post directed at Maggie or myself? Anyway, I've not been offended by anyone.

Maggie, I looked at the googled link and it's very interesting as 'Patrick' the guy also asking about IRP stack locs' (first link listed) mentions that he has two drives in addition to his normal drive.

Well so have I. I've got the above messages each time while downloading loads of stuff and working/saving/copying stuff to and from these additional drives. Whether this has any relevance I don't know.

For the record the two drives are external IBM 8Gb Travelstar drives connected via the PC card slots.

Here is a link to the IBM HDD http://ssddom01.hgst.com/tech/techlib.nsf/techdocs/85256AB8006A31E587256A790053B2A9//dtzn_ds.pdf
The link you gave doesn't mention your Toshiba as being compatible. Not to say that means anything.
Laptops can be funny creatures. The hdd are great maybe you can get a different PC card to hook to them. If Toshiba has a forum this might be the best place to get links for other products.

Hi Maggie.

No probs' with my two E8's. Been using them for ages, I'd be lost without 'em. Didn't need to use the included installing stuff, XP pro' picked them up straight away, so I don't think it's a hardware problem. I'm familiar with the PDF docs' link.

I'm a little surprised that one of the real computer boffins like Shelley hasn't been around yet on this one.

It's no 'BIG' problem more of an occaisional irritation.
