phil_UAE,

Bad_Pool_Caller can be many things but it is most likely a corrupted driver.


You can open a run box and type verifier and click OK.  This will open a little driver verifier applet.  Please read the following page before you do this.

Here is a link to the MS Knowledge Base on Bad_Pool_Caller: 

http://support.microsoft.com/search/default.aspx?catalog=LCID%3d1033&query=bad_pool_caller%20xp&mode=r&range=1-20

These should help you identify what is going awry and fix it.  You may have to make use of safe mode (F8 on startup) to regain access to the system.

Good Luck.
