Windows 7 Laptop BSOD odd wifi issue?

[SOLVED] Laptop BSOD odd wifi issue?

Hey Everyone!
So my laptop just started getting some BSOD that I think may have something to do with the wireless adapter, but it has me stumped.

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 32bit on a Compaq Presario CQ50-115NR

First I have been getting the following:

Bad_Pool_Caller
Stop: 0x000000C2 (0x00000007, 0x08E50027, 0x859018E0)

This happens every time about 22-24 seconds after my wifi icon pops up. If I disable my wireless adapter in Safe Mode and reboot into Normal Mode, my computer runs perfectly and I am capable of playing any of my games or movies without a crash. As soon as I enable the adapter, it crashes. However I am able to use the wireless adapter with no issue at all in Safe Mode (other than it's all laggy).

Maybe update my wireless driver? I can't seem to find an updated one though and still find it weird that it would work perfectly well in Safe Mode. I haven't been able to test the LAN at all as I am currently in a hotel for work that only offers wireless.

I zipped up the info as requested and attached it. Thanks for your time and help!

Edit: I upgraded my wireless network card drivers to 10.0.0.54 from 04/23/2012 and I am still getting the BSOD

I am unable to open the uploaded copy of MSINFO32. While this isn't unusual, it may be needed later on.

Un-install Connectify - it's blamed by the memory dump.
Un-install HotSpotShield - it's recently been known to cause BSOD's
Un-install DaemonTools/Alcohol software with these directions:

Daemon Tools (and Alcohol % software) are known to cause BSOD's on some Win7 systems (mostly due to the sptd.sys driver, although I have seen dtsoftbus01.sys blamed on several occasions).

Please un-install the program, then use the following free tool to ensure that the troublesome sptd.sys driver is removed from your system (pick the 32 or 64 bit system depending on your system's configuration): [DEL] Link Removed [/DEL] Link broken as of 21 Jul 2012

Please update these older drivers. Links are included to assist in looking up the source of the drivers. If unable to find an update, please remove (un-install) the program responsible for that driver. DO NOT manually delete/rename the driver as it may make the system unbootable! :

Hey John,
As soon as I removed Connectify and HotSpotShield, my issues ended. I will get to work on updating my drivers just to be safe, but it seems to be working great. Thanks a ton!

Sometimes we're spot on with the first cause that's mentioned - but it often happens that there are other causes or other drivers contributing to the problems.

I'm glad that it worked quickly for you! Good luck!
