Re: Vista srv: nonpaged pool

You should post this to the original thread. It is good manners to respond
to someone who tried to help you. There are other questions that need to be
asked to continue trouble shooting but it would be best to keep to the
original thread so that people searching for similar problems will see the
full thread. The way it is now no one can follow through all the trouble
shooting steps.
