Like most of you, I use BID and BID has kept little snot nosed 
script-kiddie brats out of my 98 and ME systems nicely.  I am now 
using XP Pro - and all of a sudden I got these "IRQL not less or 
equal" Blue Screen Stop Errors upon shutdown.  

XP is fully patched from the Microsoft Update Service (HINT:  Want 
to DOWNLOAD and SAVE the Hotfixes instead of just getting them 
installed?  Use http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp?
corporate=true ).

The problem is with BID.  Period.  I remove 2.9can the Blue Screens 
and mysterious reboots stop.  Put 2.9can (or any other BID version) 
back in, and the Blue Screens return.

As much as I hate to admit it, until a 3.0 version of BID comes out 
for XP, remove BID from your XP system.  In the past, NetIce hasn't 
really been rigorous in their testing and this seems to be the 
problem again with a poorly written driver that XP has problems 
with.  (Bad Drivers and Memory are the main causes of an IRQL Blue 
Screen in XP).

Another HINT for you XP users - by default, WinXP reboots when 
there's a critical error. You can change this setting from Control 
Panel > System > Advanced > Startup and Recovery > Settings > System 
Failure.  This should stem a lot of your Mysterious Reboots.

M.S.
