INFORMATION
Driver Verifier monitors kernel-mode drivers to detect incorrect function calls or actions that might corrupt the system. For Windows 7, Driver Verifier has several features that did not exist in earlier versions of Windows, that detect new classes of driver defects, and that provide information for debugging these driver defects.
Warning
If Verifier flags a critical driver, it could leave your computer unbootable. Make sure you have created a system restore point and Windows 7 installation DVD or repair disc.
