Bad Spool Header BSOD

kmansp · Nov 26, 2006, 04:57 AM

I recently upgraded dhzeropoint drivers to the latest ones dh offers, 92.91. Unfortunately, despite using cab cleaner and driver cleaner and doing a clean install, I get a BSOD with a message of Bad_Spool_Header quite often now. I'm kinda bummed, as I noticed better performance in some of the later games and I really don't want to have to go back. I have a 6800 Nvidia GO card, so Nvidias regular drivers won't work. Are there any other modded drivers for laptops that are available or does anyone have a workaround for the Bad_spool_header BSOD? It's almost a given to happen when I alt tab out of games, occasionally when I start certain games, or just in the middle of games.
Any help would be appreciated.

I think this is a common issue right now... I'll have pr0digal jenius look into it.

Some people seem to be getting that, in aprticular with the 7 series cards. I'm looking into it, and will hopefully have it ironed out in the upcoming set
