Hi,

A mate of mine is having a problem with his PC where when he boots it up, he
receives a 'system error' and his sound card does not work.

He can reinstall the drivers and this makes it work until he re-boots when
he gets the message again!

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Steve.
 
"...he receives a 'system error' ..." does not provide enough information
for a helpful answer. At the very least we need to know the exact wording of
the error message.
 
OK. I got the details from him last night:

When the system starts and has played the 'Windows sound', a message box
appears titled: Generic Host process for Win32 services. The message box
shows the normal type of Gumpf with the Send/Dont Send error report buttons.

I clicked the 'Investigate further' link and the following screen showed
svchost.exe as the file and also had reference to a file called mprdim.dll

I have investigated the internet and did not find much information. I have
found suggestion that this file has something to do with Remote Access.

Could this be a virus? He has loaded the latest drivers and cleared all his
internet cookies/history and it seems to be fixed. The worrying thing is
wether it could return....
 
I have done that, with a fully updated Norton 2006.

As I said, the problem seems to be fixed, it is nice to find the source of
these problems tho!
