I need some help.

My home machine runs XP. I keep getting the BSOD with a Multiple IRP Complete Request message then a memory dump. I have done a little research to find that two software programs or two hardware items may be fighting over some resource.

I have got this before (usually on shotdown) and generally ignored it. Now I am getting it all the time.

I don't recall installing anything. My HOA provides internet service and I run a firewall (McAfee). I was getting a bunch of "Land" attacks the other night that were blocked by the Firewall. Is it possible that someone slipped something in and it's screwing up my machine?

I tried to start it in "Safe Mode" by pressing F8, but I couldn't get "Safe Mode" to come up - I'm either doing it wrong, or something has taken over.

I wanted to see if anyone here had any ideas (or could streer me towards a good self help webite) before I take it to a paid professional.

Many Thanks
Steve
