How to use verifier?


Recommended Posts

Guest Gary Roach
Posted

I'm debugging a machine running XP Pro SP2. It gives a blue screen

occasionally with a c5 stop error. It seems I'm supposed to run the driver

verifier utility to deal with this. I don't know which drivers to monitor

and monitoring them all slows the system down so much that it's unusable.

I've analyzed the minidump from the crash (output included afterwards) and

it tells me the problem is in Internet Explorer. Which drivers should I

monitor? Thanks for any help.

DRIVER_CORRUPTED_EXPOOL (c5)

An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at

an

interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high. This is

caused by drivers that have corrupted the system pool. Run the driver

verifier against any new (or suspect) drivers, and if that doesn't turn up

the culprit, then use gflags to enable special pool.

Arguments:

Arg1: 00000000, memory referenced

Arg2: 00000002, IRQL

Arg3: 00000001, value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation

As the eroor mentioning that a plug-ins not loading and you need to know

which plug in?

What your motherboard make and model?

 

Dopes the machine get overheated?

Try to test the memory by using this tool:

 

You may have a bad RAM try to test your RAM by running Memtest by

downloading this tool and unzip it and make a floppy or CD/DVD and run it on

Reboot.

You may need to reposition/reset the RAM sticks in their slots.

 

Try to use the Verifier.exe command to see which Drivers not Verified on

your system:

Open a Notepad, customize or minimize to the taskbar as you will need it

later for this step to copy the error message on it.

Open a run command and type in:

eventvwr.msc click [OK] you will get the Event viewer control Panel.

click on each of these:

Application

System

Look in the right Pane/window for error message with red (X) or Yellow

exclamation mark /!\ , double click each one to get more info about the

causer.

On the Event error properties message you will see:

Up Arrow

Down arrow

Two pages

Click on the two pages to copy the error message then bring up the Notepad

you opened earlier and right click on the first line and select Paste from

the list, this will paste the error message on a Notepad.

Please don't duplicate the error message one of each kind will be sufficient.

Please we need just the error messages with Red (X) and don't repeat the

Re: How to use verifier?

 

Thanks for the reply. I'm in the process of carrying out the tests. It's a

customer's machine at their site and I don't have much access to it. I'm

looking at getting some time on it do some of the scans like the memory and

spyware tests. They got another blue screen and I've included the minidump

output below. It happened in a driver called rp_skt32.sys which is created

by somebody called Radial Point. I haven't had a chance to determine what

software this comes with but it isn't listed in the unsiged drivers list of

the driver verifier program. I'll include the results of other scans when

I'm able to do them. Here's the latest minidump:

Hi Gary,

The file belong to radialpoint a security services provider for many of the

ISPs world wide and used in the Ant-virus suites which supplied by the ISP

for example Bellsouth, ATT&AT, Virgin..etc.

Located here:

radialpoint security services - C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllhost.exe

/Processid:{80098F68-1220-4F43-80A8-15C7395B8874}

rppkt - system32\DRIVERS\rp_pkt32.sys

rpskt - system32\DRIVERS\rp_skt32.sys

rpsupdaterr - C:\Program Files\AT&T\AT&T Internet Security

Suite\rpsupdaterR.exe

 

Bellsouth internet security suite.Spyware.Firewall and Anti virus.

Check in the add/remove programs for it and you will find it there.

Make sure it is up2date and current and laso check for malware and viruses

on this mchine.

Check the machine doesn't heated up quickly or overheating, also the memtest.

HTH.

Re: How to use verifier?

 

I got the machine and did quite a few scans. I did the memtest86 scan for 8

hours. It did 10 passes and turned up nothing. I ran all the antivirus and

antispyware tests that you mentioned. They all scanned completely clean

except for a few tracking cookies. As you indicated the rp_skt32.sys file is

associated with Bell Internet Security. I checked for updates for it but it

indicates that it is up to date. I think at this point I'm going to suggest

to the customer that he try uninstalling the Bell Security package and run

for a few days to see if the problem reoccurs.
