I'm having the same error written to my system event logs
on every boot. here is the error:
"""
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7000
Date: 11/24/2003
Time: 9:33:16 PM
User: N/A
Computer: GALOIS
Description:
The Parallel port driver service failed to start due to
the following error:
The service cannot be started, either because it is
disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated
with it.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
"""
Following the provided link tells me that there was a
problem with starting a service (duh). Where I'm stuck
is I don't have a "Parallel port driver" service - I
don't even have a parallel port! (hmmm)
I'm on a Dell Inspiron 5100 (laptop) with Windows SP Pro SP1a.
I'm trying to troubleshoot some intermitant bsods and
would love to make this error message go away. Has any
one dealt with this issue before? Anyone have any
suggestions?
Please let me know if more information would be usefull.
If this is the wrong forum, please let me know!
thanks,
