you can try a different NIC, or try reinstalling TCP/IP and the other network services you have installed.

NDIS stands for Network Driver Interface Specification. so if you ever get errors regaurding this file it is basically your NIC/Modem driver acting up on you. I would either look for a new driver or get another NIC.

ok thanks for your replys, i have tried a different nic (only 10mbps) but didn't have any drivers. the thing is it is a new netgear FA312 it works fine in win2k, tried to replace it with one form my other computer (same card) and the error still continues. i havn't installed any tcp ip stuff so cant uninstall anything. any more ideas.

many thanks

ok found new drivers (windows 2000 ones) for these other nics and tried them as soon as it starts to copy the drivers, i get the blue screen again. so it just seems that if i install any nic it goes, i have used previous versions of winxp with no problems (mainly beta 2).
any more ideas would be appreciated
