wangchung Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 One of these unattended regtweaks causes the tcpip driver to fail with the following error upon reboot:Event ID: 7000Description:The TCP/IP Protocol Driver service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified.Can anyone figure out which tweak is killing it?

Lolly Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 I'll take a guess.You have the comments right after the reg-entrys, maybe put them on top?You got them like this:"CascadeControlPanel"="Yes" ;Cascade control panel (classic start menu)But maybe you should have 'em like:; Cascade control panel (classic start menu)"CascadeMyDocuments"="YES"Im not sure if it makes a diffrence tho, better wait for somebody else to take a look.

battleangel3222 Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 ; signifies the begining of a comment and continues for the rest of that line unless cancalled (if im not mistaken). All it is, is a comment, it doesnt direct the registry tweak, so that should not be it i dont believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHz Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Some of the services should be left in automatic mode. DHCP, dnscashe etc. This are tcpip services. If you want a possible explaination of services then check out http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wangchung Posted September 10, 2004 Author Share Posted September 10, 2004 OK, it's definitely one of the services tweaks. Thanks for leading me in that direction, MHz.Any ideas? I've disabled DNS and DHCP on Windows 2000 machines with no problems, so I doubt it's those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wangchung Posted September 10, 2004 Author Share Posted September 10, 2004 Hmm... it might be:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\IPSec]"Start"=dword:00000003This sets the IPSec driver to manual, when I meant to disable the PolicyAgent. Let's test in VM ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpl Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 I'll take a shot.if IPSEC works, great! but if not, you might like to try setting lmhosts to automatic..it's just a guess..;TCP/IP Helper ;Enables support for NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) service and NetBIOS name resolution.[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LmHosts]"Start"=dword:00000002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHz Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 If you go through the properties of the services, they will tell you of their dependences on others. I believe IPSec is important. I use hardware profiling for aggressive use for services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxXPsoft Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Still proper etiquette in reg file's should have the comments on different lines like Lolly pointed out.Another thing is add a blank line between them and at another at end of file. I've personally seen instances where it don't import correctly if not. Fast PC or Slow could be it but i haven't pin pointed it yet.[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Alerter]"Start"=dword:00000003[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ERSvc]"Start"=dword:00000003Don't think that's your problem but who know's. export a reg from regedit and you'll see the blank line's.

wangchung Posted September 10, 2004 Author Share Posted September 10, 2004 OK, it was the IPSec driver, which the TCPIP driver depends on. Both IPSec and TCPIP are not listed in services.msc.[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\IPSec]"Start"=dword:00000003Thanks everyone.
