SYMPTOMS

In Windows 2000, when you perform a shutdown, hibernation, or standby operation, you may receive the following error message:

Stop: 0x00000044 (0x812790e8, 0x00000cca, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
Multiple_IRP_Complete_Requests

Back to the top

This behavior can occur because a driver has requested (by using the IoCompleteRequest function) that an I/O request packet (IRP) needs to be completed, but the packet has already been completed.

Also, the following file is known to cause this behavior:

File name: Falstaff.sys
File version: 3.1.130.0
File size: 36,870 bytes
File date: March 23, 2000
Company name: In-System Design, Inc.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this behavior, contact the vendor of the driver and request an update for the driver.

In regard to the Falstaff.sys file, you may be able to obtain new drivers that can replace the Falstaff.sys file and its associated drivers. These new drivers may use different file names. Refer to the following In-System Web site for more information:
