ToySoldier 0 Posted October 14, 2002 Hi, I JUST started self teaching myself Windows 2000 MCSE as of last night. I did a fresh install of Windows 2000 Server w/SP3 on my stand alone computer (P4-1.8Ghz w/intel chipset). During the bootup I receive a message that says a service "failed" to activate and to check my EVENT Viewer. I did and this is what it says. Event Type: Error Event Source: Service Control Manager Event Category: NONE Event ID: 7000 Date: 10/13/2002 Time: 11:50:56 AM Computer: "Computer name" Description: The WLAN Transport service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified. Like I said..I'm brand spanking new to Windows 2000 Server but I did check the Service Control manager. There is nothing listed for a "WLAN Transport service" ?? I also did like the book said and try to delete the entry in the registry but could not find anything related to a WLAN. Please help. *** As a side note, I havent done the "Configure Your Server" Yet. I wanted to fix this before going on to that part.*** Thanks. Any help would be appreciated to a MCSE Cherry like me.<g> Share this post Link to post
ToySoldier 0 Posted October 15, 2002 I had to install an updated NIC driver. Perhaps there is hope for me yet with Win 2000. <grin> Share this post Link to post
adamvjackson 0 Posted October 15, 2002 P4 with an Intel chipset, so did you have the onboard Intel LAN? what driver versions had you initially installed, the default Win2k drivers? Did you update to Intel-specific drivers? Just curious here... Share this post Link to post
ToySoldier 0 Posted October 15, 2002 After installing Windows 2000 Server w/sp3 on my Compaq 6024us (long story..I usually build my own systems), I installed the Intel NIC software that I downloaded from this link. The 6024us originally came with XP. http://www29.compaq.com/falco/sp_detail.asp?Model=4141&Div=4&Os=93&SoftwareVer=14653 I did a "FULL" install instead of the recommended "Typical" install. I think this is where my problem started. Hind sight being 20/20..I dont think anything was wrong with the Compaq software. I probably installed something with the "FULL" version that simply wasnt in my computer...therefor causing that ANNOYING event error message to pop up every time I booted in windows. After a day of bug-hunting the problem..I decided to uninstall the software.. the pop up event message STILL wouldnt go away. I then did a TON of general searches and found this link.. http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/pro100ve/tti006.htm I then installed this software and my problem was resolved. http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-...mp;DwnldID=4275 Since then I've updated the OS and Hardware with all the latest patches and drivers. After doing a 24 hour looping "burn-in" using various programs it's been running like a champ. "Phweeeew...on to my MCSE 2000 Jedi training..." I won't fail you - I'm not afraid. ~ ToySoldier to Yoda Oh, you will be. You will be. ~ Yoda to ToySoldier Share this post Link to post
