when did the computer stop working ?

did you try a repair installion of XP or just a reinstall?

if you tried to reinstall did you reformat the partition first

Tank’s for answer my message so fast. My computer stopped since yesterday. I had tried both, reinstall and repair. In both cases I ended w/ bad pool caller message.
Sorry but, I do not what it is “reformat the partition”

Bad_pool_caller happened to me. I adopted a used laptop. I tried to upgrade it... When I put in a brand new 1gb ram in place of the 256mb, bad_pool_caller randomly popped up. when it was in it's happy mood, i ran memtest. sure enough, it was the RAM. I don't know your situation, I hope it's as easy as replacing the ram. if u have two sticks of ram, take one out to see if that's the bad caller.
