Blue screen error PFN_LIST_CORRUPT


Recommended Posts

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!

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.

Look at these links:

From what I could find in a 5 minute Google session suggests that it may be

a RAM issue.

 

Hope these help :)

Thanks Bubba I'll check the ram issue out...

 

McCarty I have the latest release of NIS 2007 and you're right it has taken

me so much time to keep this silly program running...I am going to find a

better program to use for security (any suggestions) because I don't have

the time to keep uninstalling and reinstalling this program...especially for

the price they get for it and when you talk to them...it's like it's no big

deal that you are wasting your time....ah well life goes on...thanks for your

time.

 

and you 2 have a great weekend!

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.
