Stop 0xC2 or BAD_POOL_CALLER ..

this is the bsod i get after installing webcamdv 'firewire webcam' junk.. it installs some non certified driver.. i login to windows and after i login i get a blue screen as if its at the end of hte chain of loading things.. the inf file shows that it has a service but i cant find the service, and i tried uninstalling it and removing the codec/driver/whatever.. still blue screens.. reinstalled xp over my existing install and it blue screened..

One option would be to install a program that tracks changes made to your system. Norton Cleansweep is one, but I am sure you can find a similar free utility that will do the same thing. Once the system tracker is monitoring your system re-install the offending drivers. You will then have a record of where the offending drivers are and the registry changes made.

Boot into safe mode and remove a bunch of hardware, anything related to your webcam. Edit the system registry, if you have to. Then reboot, and see if it still BSOD.
