A "STOP: 0x1000008E In Emupia2k.sys" Error Message Appears After You Upgrade from Windows 2000
This article was previously published under Q310740
On a computer that has a Creative Technology Audigy sound card installed, you may receive the following error message on a blue screen after you upgrade the computer from Microsoft Windows 2000 to Windows XP:
STOP: 0x1000008E (c0000005, f80ef98c, f02f3b94, 00000000)In EMUPIA2K.SYS
"KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M"
Arguments:
Arg1: c0000005, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: f80ef98c, The address that the exception occurred at
Arg3: f02f3b94, Trap Frame
Arg4: 00000000
The four parameters in the parentheses may vary, depending on the configuration of your computer.
This behavior occurs because the Windows 2000 device driver for the Audigy sound card is not compatible with Windows XP, and Windows XP does not include an updated device driver for the Audigy sound card.
To resolve this behavior, contact Creative Technology, Ltd. (Creative Labs) to obtain an updated audio device driver. Visit the following Creative Americas Web site:

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
