iz,
I'm getting confused here.
What zero config thing?
Your original post in this thread says you have an
Error Caused By A Device Driver
http://oca.microsoft.com/en/response.aspx?SGD=b9efefeb-b7c0-4527-993a-a86d7386fc8e&SID=10
And that Check Disk (chkdsk.exe) runs on every boot.
Open a command prompt...
Start | Run | Type: cmd | Click OK |
Type or paste:
chkntfs /d
Hit the Enter key.
The /d switch restores the machine to the default behavior; all drives are
checked at boot time and chkdsk is run on those that are dirty.
Autochk.exe is a version of Chkdsk that runs only before Windows XP
starts. Autochk runs in the following situations:
Autochk runs if you try to run Chkdsk on the boot volume.
Autochk runs if Chkdsk cannot gain exclusive use of the volume.
Autochk runs if the volume is flagged as dirty.
This can happen if the drive's dirty bit is set.
When a drive's dirty bit is set, autochk automatically
checks the volume for errors the next time the computer is restarted.
Start | Run | Type: cmd | Click OK |
Type:
fsutil dirty query C:
Hit the Enter key.
This will report whether the dirty bit is set.
Volume C: is not dirty
Volume C: is dirty
[[If a volume's dirty bit is set, this indicates that the file system may be
in an inconsistent state. The dirty bit can be set because the volume is
online and has outstanding changes, because changes were made to the volume
and the computer shutdown before the changes were committed to disk, or
because corruption was detected on the volume. If the dirty bit is set when
the computer restarts, chkdsk runs to verify the consistency of the volume.
Every time Windows XP starts, Autochk.exe is called by the Kernel to scan
all volumes to check if the volume dirty bit is set. If the dirty bit is
set, autochk performs an immediate chkdsk /f on that volume. Chkdsk /f
verifies file system integrity and attempts to fix any problems with the
volume.]]
-----
This will also report whether the dirty bit is set.
Start | Run | Type: cmd | Click OK |
Type:
chkntfs c:
Hit the Enter key.
C: is not dirty.

If this is not the problem.....

Hi Wesley,
Thanx so much for the kind help. I tried what yu mentioned, really no
problem with any of the devices. Could it be due to the zero config
thing? I often have the zero config error whenever I boot up my computer
but unable to find any way to resolve the error. I know it has something
to do with my wireless networking. Posted up a request previously
regarding the zero config error but no one has been able to gimme good
advice. Would be great if you can help.
Rgds,
iz.

This was at your link...
[[Some software, such as firewall and anti-virus software, also installs
drivers. If this problem occurred after you installed new software, the
software might have installed a driver that caused the problem.]]
I found this from the link that you posted..
How to Troubleshoot Hardware and Software Driver Problems in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=322205
If you did not install any new hardware, what about new software? Like
firewall or antivirus software?
AVG AntiVirus software, for example, has three drivers listed in the
Device Manager. AVG7 Kernel, AVG7 Rezident Driver and AVG7 Wrap Driver.
ZoneAlarm has one driver listed in the Device Manager, vsdatant. I just
mention these as examples, by no means do I mean that you have these.
To see software drivers listed in the Device Manager, open it...
Start | Run | Type: devmgmt.msc | Click OK | View | Show hidden
devices | Expand Non-Plug and Play Drivers by clicking the [+]
You can find info about drivers by double clicking a driver | Driver tab
| Driver Details button
