Hi, Mark...   
      
   ML> DS>   I'm not sure if this is the echo for it or not, but here goes.   
      
   ML>if it is about winwhatever, then this is the place ;)   
      
     Well, that's a start.    
      
   ML> DS>   I'm running Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 3, with just   
   ML> DS> under 4 Gigabytes of RAM and a 550 Gigabyte hard drive.   
      
   ML>ok...   
      
     Figured I'd let folks know what OS I was using.   
      
   ML> DS>   Every so often, I get a Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD) error, and it   
   ML> DS> always references the file e1c5132.sys -- and notes "driver irq not   
   ML> DS> less or equal".   
      
   ML>that appears to be the driver for an intel 82579v ethernet controller...   
   ML>according to compaq.com it is apparently a gigabyte nic... what network card   
   ML>your system using?   
      
     It's an Intel 82579LM Gigabyte Network Connection. The problem didn't   
   show up until about a month ago.   
      
   ML>it is possible that there's a bug in that driver and possibly some traffic i   
   ML>causing some sort of heap or stack overflow... what is the version of that   
   ML>driver? you might be able to right click on it and look at the properties to   
   ML>see...   
      
     Version 11.15.16 is what I noted.   
      
   ML>there's also an entry on some site that that file is classified as a trojan   
   ML>horse... i don't know that i trust that analysis and certainly not unless i   
   ML>analyze the file myself... if/when you find it to look at the properties, yo   
   ML>might email it to me in an archive... i think you have my wkitty42 gmail   
   ML>address, don't you? make sure you change the extension of the archive ;)   
      
     I saw that on some of the sites...plus some said you could check the   
   deal for free...but what they didn't tell you is that you had to buy a   
   certain program to fix it. To me, that's deceptive advertising.   
      
     I might have it in GMail, but I'm not sure. You can contact me at   
   wx1der at gmail dot com -- and I can send it that way.   
      
     Now my questions are, where to get a "replacement driver"?? And, I   
   guess I should install it in "safe mode"...but I'm not sure if it should   
   go in \WINDOWS, \WINDOWS\SYSTEM, or \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 directory.

   P.S. Thanks so much for the reply. :)
