Ah - I see what the problem is....
The driver itself has been mostly removed, but the service is present.

This won't be as easy to fix - first I have to work out exactly how to access the registry keys involved, or how ro force the driver to reinstall properly.

Please run the following commands and post the results..

Code:
 REG QUERY HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\components\DerivedData\Components\x86_microsoft-windows-null_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_a93c43a07c50a038

I have no clue what happened with that last post I guess because I didn't skip a line it screwed it up. Here it is again.
The bride is calling me to dinner. She says i can eat dinner with the family tonite or the neighbors dog. The neighbors dog is outside and it's snowing here. Guess I eat with the family. LOL

That's caused by the forum's background software interpreting the colon-open-parenthesis as a smiley - if you use the Advanced posting option you get the option to turn smileys off (don't bother - I can read/work around them :))

I didn't notice last night - but you didn't copy the whole of the second line, with the result that it was looking for a key that never exists anyhow.
Please try again (tip - I inserted extra lines including a period(.) if you copy everything including the period, it ensures that the commands complete properly.)

I don't think the hive is loaded, so that could be why it can't find those keys. Let's try this

Command Prompt

Warning: this fix is specific to the user in this thread. No one else should follow these instructions as it may cause more harm than good. If you are after assistance, please start a thread of your own.

  1. Click on the Start
    Start%20Orb.jpg
    button and in the search box, type Command Prompt
  2. When you see Command Prompt on the list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator
  3. When command prompt opens, copy and paste the following commands into it, press enter after each

    REG LOAD HKLM\components %windir%\system32\config\components
    REG QUERY HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\components\DerivedData\Components\x86_microsoft-windows-null_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_a93c43a07c50a038

    Note: There are only 3 commands there, all beginning with REG. The fourth line is just part of the third command so make sure you copy the right bit!
  4. Right-click on the Command Prompt window and click Select All, this will invert all of the colours by selecting the text, now press enter. All of this text is now copied.
  5. Paste (Ctrl+V) it into your next post please.

Tom

(it's not much better for many! - including me :) )

The last command didn't actually run - can you try again, please and this time hit the Enter key a couple of time to make sure that the final command runs??


The S256H entry is missing from the registry key that was found - which would account for at least some of the problems.

I forgot, I did a system restore last week. I thought if I rolled it back it up it might take some of those updates out. I should have taken it all the way back to the first install after the reinstall. When I looked at the update history they were all still there????

Out of curiosity, where did you get that S256H value from?

Thanks for the try. You spent a LOT of time on this, and even if we didn't accomplish anything, I appreciate your time.

HI Tom
Any idea why I keep getting these same errors? I did do a restore as I said. When I went back to see if I had undone it, I have not. I did however add some sort of WMI tool. Don't ask me what the heck it does, I have no clue. I checked the error code at Technet and this was the solution. However it wasn't a solution to anything cause I still get the same stupid errors over and over no matter how many times I reboot.

Hi George,

I would like you to run OTL please. This a tool we use for malware removal, but it should be able to give us a better picture of what your system is like at the moment:

OTL

Please download OTL (by OldTimer) from the link below and save it to your Desktop.


  1. Disable all anti-virus and anti-malware software to prevent them inhibiting OTL in any way. If you are unsure how to do this, see THIS.
  2. Double-click OTL.exe to run it.
  3. Click Run Scan to start OTL.
  4. When OTL finishes scanning, two logs, OTL.txt and Extras.txt will open.
  5. Copy (Ctrl+C) and Paste (Ctrl+V) the contents of both of these logs into your next post please.

Tom
