How to get rid of service or driver failure during system startup?
Greetings,
I am running on Windows NT and have been unable to get rid of pop up Service Control Manager window saying: ! At least one service or driver failed during System Startup. Use EventViewer to examine the event log for details. The Event Log describes these incidents as: ---a Service Control Event with ID 7026 Type error "The folowing boot-start driver(s) failed to load: Sermouse" ---a Service Control Event with ID 7024 Type error "The Net Log On Service terminated with service specific error 3095." Is there any way to resolve this constant error message? Thanks..... |
Hi lajaulavira - sermouse is a serial mouse. What kind of mouse are you using?

According to the mouse properties, "Microsoft PS/2 Mouse with Wheel" ... |
Is that the only mouse listed?
Is sermouse listed, if so DISABLE IT. If not try this: 1. Make a backup copy of the Boot.ini file. 2. Remove the hidden, system, and read-only attributes from the Boot.ini file. 3. Using a text editor (such as Notepad) open the Boot.ini file. 4. Add the /NoSerialMice option to the end of each entry in the [operating systems] section of Boot.ini. See the example below for more information. 5. Save Boot.ini and quit Notepad. 6. Restore the hidden, system, and read-only attributes to the Boot.ini file. 7. Shutdown and restart Windows. The following is a sample of the Boot.ini file say for WINNT: [boot loader] timeout=3 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT3 5 [Operating systems] Multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT35="Windo ws NT Workstation Version 3.51" /NoSerialMice multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT35="Windo ws NT Workstation Version 3.51 [VGA mode]" /basevideo /sos /NoSerialMice ********************************************** NoSerialMice Syntax /NoSerialMice - Disables the detection of serial mice on all COM ports. /NoSerialMice:COMx - Disables the detection of serial mice on COM x, where x is the number of the port. /NoSerialMice:COMx,y,z - Disables the detection of serial mice on COM x, y and z. NOTE: The /NoSerialMice option is not case sensitive |

Thank you Murf for your suggestion. The Boot.ini now reads as follows, BUT I AM STILL GETTING THE SAME ERROR MESSAGES WHEN I BOOT UP. Any other ideas???? [boot loader] timeout=5 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00"/NoSerialMice multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00 [VGA mode]" /basevideo /sos /NoSerialMice |
