    STOP c000021a winlogon ONLY with Administrator

    Not sure of the relevance of that link. I recreated the Administrator profile: 1. Logged in as another user with (temporary) admin privileges, renamed Administrator's ntuser.dat to ntuser.dat.foobar 2. Logged in as Administrator (which created a fresh profile) 3. As other user, copied...

    STOP c000021a winlogon ONLY with Administrator

    Recently did memtest: OK. Clean XP installation, i.e. all drivers "updated". If it *is* a driver, how can I figure out which one? When I had the rdpdr.sys error the minidump clearly said "It's rdpdr.sys that is causing me to die". Here, all I get is that winlogon.exe didn't like *something*...

    STOP c000021a winlogon ONLY with Administrator

    I've recently reinstalled XP SP3; all patches up to date. About 10 days ago, I started getting the dreaded "STOP c000021a winlogon.exe terminated" blue screen. The "minidumps", unlike regular BSOD minidumps, seem almost completely uninformative (though if anyone knows how to extract useful info...

    RDP causes BSOD when using file explorer

    ;) Couldn't have done it without the help of all!

    RDP causes BSOD when using file explorer

    PROBLEM SOLVED! See this Avast! forum page. Bottom Line, it's both Avast! and Windows (XP). Petr at Avast! wrote: we change one part in filesystem driver which queries for file paths. Unfortunately, in RDP session (under XP/2003) it can lead to BSOD if you mapped harddisk drives and you access...

    RDP causes BSOD when using file explorer

    Avast up-to-date. Non-trial, free version. Plus, completely wiped, and then reinstalled, Avast. No other trial versions present AFAIK. Ill try the Avast aswClear.exe, to really be sure, and also some uninstallers from Singular Labs http://singularlabs.com/uninstallers/security-software/

    RDP causes BSOD when using file explorer

    Re-confirmed problem (for the millionth time): local copy/paste while RDP'd into the XP server works OK; copy or other access to the RDP client shared drive causes BSOD for XP box. Rebooted. Stopped AVAST (shut down all shields, stopped Avast service). Avast UI (and I guess some very low-level...

    RDP causes BSOD when using file explorer

    [/quotemsg]Maybe, but I haven't time for it. I installed AVG AntiVirus Free Edition 2013 which doesn't have such problem.[/quotemsg] Funny, I switched from AVG to Avast about 16 months ago, because AVG was a huge cpu hog, and I have found Avast to be much leaner and faster. I'll also check on...

    RDP causes BSOD when using file explorer

    Did you also have the BSOD problem only in one direction, and only upon attempted copy/paste (i.e., did your RDP session establish OK)? I'll try disabling AVAST. If it is AVAST, however, there should be a way to configure it to not cause the problem... My problem started suddenly, about 4 weeks...

    RDP causes BSOD when using file explorer

    No, still working on it (unfortunately). What are your system configurations (RDP client, and RDP server)?

    RDP causes BSOD when using file explorer

    No, even a few bytes will do it. The other (actually, *extremely* irritating) possibility that I'm pursuing is that the Win7 computer (which is my work laptop) has had it's group policies altered in such a way as to cause the the XP BSOD. Apparently, our systems engineers, recently implemented...

    RDP causes BSOD when using file explorer

    Three things make me think it's not hardware: 1. It used to work just fine (I know, the hardware could have *just* failed...). 2. RDP works *in every respect* in the XP_client-to-Win7_server direction. 3. RDP works in every respect *except for copy/paste operations* in the...
