driver verifier

[Guest rd_root]

How do I read a prefetch file? I know one of three drivers in the Kaspersky

software program is bad. I started the driver verifier and it caught the

culprit. I have been going back and forth with them doing the same thing

over and over, with the same result...and we know that that is.

 

I think it is now finally going to be escalated to 3rd level support..... so

how do I figure out how to read the prefetch file to figure out which of the

three it is...

 

without the software I have no BSODs at all... with the software when it's

running.... BSODs galore...

 

 

 

Thanks!

Re: driver verifier

 

Kelly,

 

I'm sorry, but that wasn't the question that I was asking. Duh...that would

be the obvious answer...Let's just toss the software. For the moment it is

removed.

 

Getting rid of the software is not an option. I prefer the Kaspersky over

Norton. I hadn't had any problems with them until the most recent upgrade to

7.0.1.325.

 

From what I understand the prefetch file is in binary. How do I read it to

find the culprit driver? Is there an MS interface to download to read these

files.

 

 

Can someone please help?

 

 

Best regards and thanks!

NO, delete the PREFETCH file, it will be recreated.

Re: driver verifier

 

No to what?

 

I want to find from the driver files I selected which one is the

culprit..... so how do I do that with the prefetch files?

 

no prefetch files have been deleted and with the exception of a couple..I

didn't have any until I started the verifier dot exe... as I was trying to

ferret out this problem.

 

 

 

Thanks!
