Using USB keyboard causes BSOD crash on Vista

Post by bobmoss »

Hi,

I've just installed Virtualbox (2.1.0) under Windows Vista and whenever I try to run it, before the GUI comes up I get a blue screen of death with IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.

The values listed on the BSOD are:

A
00000016
0000001B
00000000
81E84648

The last one changes and has been 81E66648, 81E6B648,81E90648

If I don't install the USB drivers, everything works OK.

I have a Microsoft wireless USB keyboard and I have found that if I plug a PS/2 keyboard in instead, everything works OK.

If I plug in a different USB keyboard, it crashes again within a second or two of trying to launch VirtualBox.

So, other than not using a USB keyboard, any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks.

Bob.
