Re: bad_pool_header
I only started getting this after trying to play a game I just installed (SERIOUS SAM II).
My system meets or exceeds the minimum/recommended requirements, but I keep getting crashes once I start to play it. The only BSOD screen I caught the message of was the 3rd time it crashed (I had turned off the auto-reboot so I could see the problem).
I was getting that "BAD_POOL_HEADER" thing.
My system :
Windows XP Home
Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.2GHz
3GB RAM
Service Pack 2
NVIDIA GeForce 8500GT Graphics Card (with latest drivers, I'm pretty sure).
DirectX 9.0c
That's all I can find. if any more info is needed, I'll need to be told how and where to find it.
At game startup, it (always?) informs me my graphics card has (been) "changed", but doesn't tell me what is has been changed to or from, only to select the "Auto Detect" in Video Options (which I did).
Other than the new game, my system has no crash problems.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance

PS~
What exactly does the Indexing Sevice do, anyway?
What would happen if it were disabled or switched off?
Isn't it a useful somewhat-necessary process thing?
