Kernel Mode Driver error

Hi all,

I've been using ATITool for a while now, and it was phenominal. However, the other day I ran into a virus, and had to reinstall my OS (Windows XP Pro 32-bit). After I ran automatic updates, installed all the latest drivers, and etc., I now get the error "The Kernel Mode Driver does not seem to be working." I'm running on XP32-bit, as should be fully updated thanks to automatic updates. I don't know what the problem is. Does anyone know what is going on? And for that matter, what is the Kernel Mode Driver?

 

error in windows 10 unexpected kernel mode trap

I found that once the install failed with this kernel mode error, it just kept on restarting and the error changed to unable to find boot device. When I created a recovery USB from another machine, it returned to the kernel mode message and round again.


Eventually I ended up restoring a system image and am now back to Windows 7 and wondering how to make sure I'm more successful next time.

Would any of the suggested steps help with this? I'm assuming that until I retry the install I won't get this message coming up.

Thanks

Barbara
