    I'm sorry to hear that. This would seem indicative of a hardware problem - could be an outright flaw in memory, disk, IO controller, etc, or hopefully just an unlucky single-event upset.

    It could be argued that the driver shouldn't be dereferencing invalid areas in memory regardless, at least not from corrupt on-disk data, but that's an issue to take up with Microsoft - Compactor doesn't do any compression or decompression, it just asks the OS to do so.
