As the title says, I've been having an incredible amount of trouble with bluescreening related to the file XDVannn.sys. I've googled for countless hours trying to figure this one out and have had no luck whatsoever. It only happens when I try to run a game called Cabal Online.

After the bluescreen, windows tells me the problem was caused by a file called XDVannn.sys, which after researching I found it to be a file used by xtrap (anti-cheating tool ran with alot of mmorpgs). This makes sense because Cabal Online uses xtrap, and the Blue Screen only occurs when I try to play this game. I have ran the game before a few months ago with no problems whatsoever, so I know it isn't the laptop not being able to handle the game. Just one day it started to blue screen after I tried to run it. XDVannn.sys is claimed by windows to possibly be malware, but it is not.

Here's some things I tried:

1. Scanned computer with Malwarebytes and Avira (0 results)

2. Updated DirectX and Ati 3100 drivers

3. Deleted the Xtrap folder (so it redownloads a new copy when I start the game)

4. Uninstalled and ReInstalled the game

5. Tried using a system restore point to around the time before the blue screen, but no luck, so reverted back to the current restore point. (Possibly did not work because I couldn't restore to a far enough date)


All of which did not solve the bluescreen problem.

***Note: XDVannn.sys, the nnn in the filename is just a variable for the version of xtrap you currently have installed. So more specifically my XDVannn.sys is actually: XDVa279.sys. Here is some registry info of the file: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\XDva279




Here are my specs as well as minidump logs.





**The red highlights I believe indicate the files most likely responsible for the crash.





Hope this helps. Any help would be greatly appreciated, for my desire to turn this laptop into a paperweight grows stronger everyday

Hi Monst3r

did you check this link too? It was one among the Google results.

Yes sir, that was one of the first threads I looked at but I didn't have a problem with a missing enum key. After re-reading over the post I noticed there should also be a Security key in the XDVa279 subgroup, but there wasn't on this computer.. I went to check my other computer that has this game installed and working, went into regedit and found that there indeed should be a security key. I exported the entry to this computer and now the two look identical. I restarted, then tried the game again.. same problem, bluescreen again. I really thought it would work that time. Any ideas?

Me again Monst3r

I am not sure if you can copy a Security Key from another system copying it on another one . I believe such a key gets generated and depends on specific system settings. Something I'm worried about: that mentioned file XDVA279.sys. I've found lot of information, that it should keep a Backdoor-Trojan or related kind of malware. Maybe a check of your system may clearify whats up.

To do so, please check in here first, then post your results in our forum
