Download Tpkd Driver Pro Tools
I have been getting random BSOD's with hal.dll and IRQLNOTLESSOREQUAL notifications with the Bluescreen program and Who's Crashed.I then tried the Driver Verification Tool and it consistently crashed with Tpkd.sys driver.It is associated with the PACE Ilok protection system and crashes when I load a specific music plugin that has its license on a usb Ilok dongle.I have yet to hear from Ilok/Pace regarding their driver (it is their latest) but I am wondering if there is anything that can be done about this other than not using the driver.
