Guest 40chevyrod Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 I am running win XP SP2 on a dell dimension 4700 4 gig ram. I have had numerous problems with norton internet security 2007 in the past but loaded the latest version yesterday and it seems to have solved all norton problems I had. Now though, this morning I have had 3 blue screen errors appear while in email that refer to PFN_LIST_CORRUPT. I don't have a clue what the problem is. Has anyone else experienced a problem like this and if so did you find a resolution for the problem. Thanks in advance for any assistance...don't have much more hair to pull out!
Guest R. McCarty Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Re: Blue screen error PFN_LIST_CORRUPT Latest version ?, do you mean the 2008 version of NIS ? Over time NIS has taken more than it's share of bandwidth on this Windows XP NG. It is a never ending cause of issues/problems. What happens if your uninstall NIS ? The question that comes to mind is why persist in using a program that is well know for causing erratic system operation. Essentially you are paying for a program that requires extra effort to get it to run or run reliably. NIS 2008 is brand new so finding/resolving issues with it isn't going to be easy. As an "Early Adopter" you're at the front of the pack as far as new issues appearing and locating solutions. About the only suggestion I'd make is to completely remove NIS, Live Update, Live Reg, Registry remnants, Orphan folders and then if you must use NIS - reinstall it without any previous versions ( or pieces ) on the PC.

Guest Bubba Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Re: Blue screen error PFN_LIST_CORRUPT Look at these links: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms793247.aspx http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291806 (this relates to Win2K, but it is NT based as is windows XP so it may be relevant) http://forums.techguy.org/games/504498-pfn_list_corrupt-blue-screen.html (this link also refers to RAM issues) http://forums.hardwarelogic.com/f36/pfn_list_corrupt-error-872.html (this discussion refers to RAM as well, but also some discussion about hard disk etc.) From what I could find in a 5 minute Google session suggests that it may be a RAM issue.

Guest R. McCarty Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Re: Blue screen error PFN_LIST_CORRUPT Trouble-Free AV would be NOD32 from ESET. Around ~$39.00 for a single seat license. For Firewall ( beyond XP's ) I would use Zone Alarm (Free). For real-time Malware protection use Win Defender & SpyBot and AdAware ( not version 2007 ) for occasional scan/removal.

Google shows 17,000 entries for PFN_LIST_CORRUPT, 1080 of them involve NORTON. The error seems to result from a corrupt I/O driver table or an ill-behaved program writing data in some other driver's protected data space.

This error points to an internal Windows data structure which is essential for the operation of Windows. This is the table which lists all of the pages of RAM and which process owns said pages. If this table is corrupt, Windows cannot continue. What I would do is remove Norton. You will probably find that add/remove will not quite succeed in removing Norton. Thus, you need to run Symantec's program which gets rid of nearly all of it. Then, you will find orphan folders, registry keys, etc. You should regard the process of removing Norton as merely attending the School of Hard Knocks. Quite a few people on this list are graduates of that school. It may be that Norton is the culprit. Jim
