    Driver Error code 3 with not working devices also on Virtual Machine


    Hello to everybody,
    I am trying to post a help request here since is much time i try to solve this problem without success.
    What brought me to post the help request is the new fact that i get the same error after ported my
    system in a Virtual Machine.

    I explain better.
    Several years ago I purchased an HP Desktop P6228it equipped with Q8300 CPU and 6Gbytes of RAM.
    It came with Windows 7 (don't remember if Pro or Home) and I updated it with W7 Ultimate.
    It worked fine for long time when suddenly the DVD stopped to work.
    I supposed to be an hardware failure so i didn't cared to much, it was not essential for me.
    Then also the audio stopped to work. It was neither essential too, so i didn't cared.
    Then I realized that some other "exclamation points" was showed in the Device Manager.
    I have at moment a "code 3" for the following devices:
    Audio, Intel ICH10LPC, Intel QuadCPU, Display, CD-ROM.
    I tried to install a PicoScope device and also it have now a "code 3" error in the device driver.

    Recently i virtualized all my systems as sort of backup procedure.
    Also this PC has been virtualized and tested.
    During the test of the virtualization on a completely different computer i surprisingly noticed that
    also on the virtual machine the same errors was listed.
    So i realized the computer has not hardware problems but completely software problems.
    I would really appreciate an help about this "code 3" error.
    I followed a number of hints and procedures i found around, but none of the ones i applied
    succeeded.

    Of course I could re-format all, but obviously it is the my last option.

    Help please... i think that having this problem solved would help many others.

    SOLVED!
    I finally managed to solve it!
    I have finally found this link:

    windows 7 - Several devices in Device Manager have Code 3 error - Super User

    The instructions are related to Win7 32 bit.
    I exported a REG file of a Win7 64 bit machine I also have.
    I imported in the defective o.s. and IT WORKED!

    It has to do with a wrong setting of the file: wdf01000.sys
    My registry was rather different than a working one.
    It should look as:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Wdf01000]
    "DisplayName"="@%SystemRoot%\\system32\\drivers\\Wdf01000.sys,-1000"
    "Group"="WdfLoadGroup"
    "ImagePath"=hex(2):73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,64,00,\
    72,00,69,00,76,00,65,00,72,00,73,00,5c,00,57,00,64,00,66,00,30,00,31,00,30,\
    00,30,00,30,00,2e,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,00,00
    "ErrorControl"=dword:00000001
    "Start"=dword:00000000
    "Type"=dword:00000001

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Wdf01000\Enum]
    "0"="Root\\LEGACY_WDF01000\\0000"
    "Count"=dword:00000001
    "NextInstance"=dword:00000001

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Wdf01000\Parameters]
    "MajorVersion"=dword:00000001
    "MinorVersion"=dword:0000000b
    "BuildNumber"=dword:00000000

    ==
    I hope this info will help others!

    GoodBye!
