    Driver_irql_not_less_or_equal

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 that I purchasaed about 6 months ago. It has worked great up until recently. I started getting this error after I installed Microsoft Searchlight to watch a movie via netflix. I have read that this error may be a driver issue but I could use a little help deciphering the blue screen. I am attaching a picture of the error. If anyone can help or needs more information please let me know. Thanks in advance.

    bcmw16 is a network driver (wireless) could you try reinstalling the driver (for your wireless card) , and also check all the settings on your wireless card

    +1 Restart to Safe Mode, uninstall your wireless driver and reboot again, once in your desktop, use your LAN cable and get the latest wireless driver for it, download it and save it.

    Go to the folder where you saved it and right click on the file and install with "Run as Administrator".
