DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL ? Anyone know what the He!! this means?

I get this error when I X out of the Key Link software on my Inspiron 6000 Dell laptop running XP with SP 2.

How can I fix it? it locks the computer up and I have to reboot it.

More.
I now believe this was caused by a microsoft update. I have 3 dell computers xp sp2 and all 3 crash the same way when I close keylink software. All 3 did work in the past with no trouble. Windows updates are the only thing these 3 computers have in common. I don't know when it first occured because I've ignored it for awhile hoping it would go away.
Is this happening to anyone else? This thread should probably be moved to Comdial or Voicemail.

Did you try reinstalling the keylink software ?

several times. That ain't it. It's an XP keylink conflict. The trouble is new by virtue of something in an MS update I'm sure. I can still connect using the old "Remote" from PC anywhere they used in the days before keylink.

Stop 0x000000D1 or DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
The Stop 0xD1 message indicates that the system attempted to access pageable memory using a kernel process IRQL that was too high. Drivers that have used improper addresses typically cause this error.

Interpreting the Message
This Stop message has four parameters:

Memory referenced.
IRQL at time of reference.
Type of access (0x00000000 = read operation, 0x00000001 = write operation).
Address that referenced memory.
Resolving the Problem
For additional troubleshooting suggestions that apply to all Stop errors, see "Stop Message Checklist" later in this appendix.

Stop 0xD1 messages can occur after installing faulty drivers or system services. If a driver is listed by name, disable, remove, or roll back that driver to confirm that this resolves the error. If so, contact the manufacturer about a possible update. Using updated software is especially important for backup programs, multimedia applications, antivirus scanners, DVD playback, and CD mastering tools.
For more information about Stop 0xD1 messages, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base link on the Web Resources page at https://www.microsoft.com/windows/reskits/webresources. Search using keywords winnt, 0x000000D1, and 0xD1.

It turned out to be some issue with the USB to serial cable or it's driver. A new cable and driver solved the issue. It's still strange though. It works fine on pcdba and all other apps, and it even works with key link until you disconnect with it still connected to the VM DB9 com port, that causes a crash.
