SYMPTOMS
You may receive a "STOP 0x00000041 MUST_SUCCEED_POOL_EMPTY" error message on a blue screen when the requested memory allocation cannot be satisfied for the NonPagedPoolMustSucceed pool type for the ExAllocatePoolWithTag function.



RESOLUTION
If you receive this error message, verify the version of the third-party Ncrbynet.sys driver that is being used. The following version of the Ncrbynet.sys file is known to cause a memory leak condition with Windows NT:

To resolve this issue, contact NCR Corporation for an updated driver.
