WIN10 ERROR! "Bad Pool Caller"

I have been using Windows10 for about 15 months now. Right from the first available Technical Preview. So far everything has worked fine, but then I am not one to go into overclocking or any other things that try to make a computer do more than what it was designed to do. FSX and P3D work fine with no error messages. Even MSTS and Open Rails work on my 64 bit system when people said they would not work.

Yep, the exception that proves the rule...;)

What you need to do now is grab a few more computers...maybe some with 7...others with 8 ...and upgrade them to 10....and get back to us re the success rates and 'no error messages'....;)
I can guarantee you will have failures....if ANY form of exotica is to be installed. Eg. Sysmetrix doesn't display it's gauge needles [probably because they are trans png files].
 
Johan,
I've tried to download the drivers for my motherboard from the MSI site, but the only one that's listed for Windows 10 is for the on-board sound.
I've tried a clean install from a disk, but when I've used the product key that I copied from my system there's one "block" of digits missing. Any suggestions?


Thanks,
Ian

Hold on, you don't have the full installation key for windows 7 anymore? Am I understanding this correctly? What version of Win7 are you installing?

Cheers,

Johan

Johan, I've tried to PM you, but apparently you don't receive PM's. Yes I do have installation key's for Windows 7. It's Windows 10 that I don't have a usable key for. I tried using the key from my upgrade version of it to perform a format and clean install via a disk that I'd made, but that didn't work, it was short by 5 digits.

I've run troubleshooter in Windows 10 and it seems that the drivers didn't install correctly from Microsoft. It's an Hitachi external hard drive that I'm having problems with and they don't supply drivers, so it's looking like I may have to buy an external hard drive that's compatible with Windows 10.

If you're still on Win 10, use ProduKey to find the key.
Write it down and you can use it for a clean W10 installation from disk.


(Also, check Johan's member status...)
