You receive a Stop error on a Windows NT 4.0-based computer with a file system filter driver (839334)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you try to use a Microsoft Windows NT 4.0-based computer with a file system filter driver, the computer may stop unexpectedly, and you may receive an error message that is similar to the following:
STOP: 0x0000001E (0xC0000005, 0x80115ab4, 0x00000001, 0x00000000)

KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
Note The third parameter in the error message may vary with Windows NT 4.0 service pack versions. This parameter may also vary if a kernel hotfix is installed on the system.

CAUSE

This problem may occur if the Windows NT 4.0 I/O Manager causes the thread list entry field in the I/O request package (IRP) to be initialized incorrectly. This scenario may cause a Stop error during I/O operations on systems that have file system filter drivers installed.
