BSOD 90% of the time during a TrueCrypt mount

  • 772

About 90% of the time when I mount a TrueCrypt share I get a blue screen of death. The error codes I see in the BSOD vary. The last two I saw mentioned eamon.sys and irql_less_than_or_equal.

  • Windows 7 Professional
  • TrueCrypt 7.0a
  • ESET NOD32 AV
  • I am not using the EXT2 driver

Googling didn't turn up much, but hinted at TueCrypt + NOD32 issues. I tried disabling NOD32 real time monitoring during mounts, but it didn't help. How can I determine the cause?

  1. UPDATE: The problem reoccurred; this didn't fix the issue.

    Disabling NOD32 didn't help. The solution was to set the exe of TrueCrypt to Windows Vista SP2 compatibility.

    1. Go to the installation folder for TrueCrypt

      C:\Program Files (x86)\TrueCrypt

    2. Right click TrueCrypt.exe
    3. Go to the Compatibility tab
    4. Check "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
    5. Set it to Windows Vista SP2

  2. This seems to be an on-going issue. Please check the official support forums for further information.

    A couple of posts indicate that by doing this, it may resolve your issues:

    1. Disable boot sector scanning OR
    2. Deactivating "Automatic startup file check" under schedule
