PAGE_FAULT_IN_HOMEPAGED_AREA on HP Pavillion dv2000

windows xp taskbar not working properly

how to fix windows taskbar XP


On a HP Pavillion dv2000 laptop the following text on a bluescreen would pop up really quickly.  After this message once windows xp had loaded the taskbar was not displaying properly.

Here's the text.

If this is the first time you've seen this error screen restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to make sure and new hardware or software is properly installed.  If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows updates you might need.

If the problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software, Disable BIOS memory, options such as caching or shadowing.  If you need to safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and select safe mode.

For me I had to fix this by pressing F11 and following the PC fix instructions. I'd recommend backing up in Safe Mode first though.
