Locate a service trying to run

[D. Shane Fowlkes]

My Win2k seems to be rebooting itself frequently. I'm getting the blue
screen of death and a "memory dump". When I check the Event Log, I keep
seeing this error at the time of the crash:

Event 7000: The tcaicchg service failed to start due to the following
error: The system cannot find the file specified.

I go to www.eventid.net and look it up and it tells me that "This event may
occur when a service was not uninstalled properly (not removed from the
service database). The Service Control Manager is trying to start the
service but the executable is not there. Remove the entries for the service
from the registry. ..."

So how do I go about finding what the "tcaicchg" service is and fix it?

TIA!!

tcaicchg, TCAITDI are related to your network interface (I believe 3com
diagnostics tools). Reinstall the tools or set the service startup to manual
or disabled.

Run regedit.exe and have a look at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\tcaicchg\ImagePath.
It will tell you what file the service expects to find.
If you need the service, re-install it. If you don't,
delete this registry key, or set its service startup
mode to "manual" as suggested by Dave Patrick.
