Can't find driver problem

**d.riseberg** · 2011-10-26 14:18

For the last few weeks, at startup, after everything in Windows launches, I will get the familiar tone of a device driver not installed properly. Mind you, I haven't installed any new devices in several months. Everything appears to be working properly. Under Device Manager, there aren't any signs of faulty devices or uninstalled drivers,--no yellow "!".
At startup, there is also no indication on the System Tray, of anything going wrong.
How do I figure out what device isn't working properly, when everything works, and Windows isn't telling me what is wrong?
Thanks
Dave

See if there is anything in the Event viewer that helps isolate the culprit. Otherwise, you could try the Clean Boot diagnostic procedure. Ignore the Fixit that pops up.

Dave,
have a look @ Reliability Monitor.

**d.riseberg** · 2011-10-27 15:02

In the Event Viewer, under the Applications and Services Logs, it reads:
Event 7026, Service Control Manager Eventlog Provider
The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:
i8042prt

The only thing I can figure is, it must have to do with my new (3 month old) Logitech K520 optical keyboard. It seems to be working correctly. The info I seem to find on the web, seem to point to a variety of registry fixes. I also have a MS Wireless mouse, so I don't want to mess everything up.
Any ideas? Thanks
Dave

This article seems to be more about how to trim time off boot-up. I seem to have a driver issue, from what I can tell.

**jwitalka** · 2011-10-27 15:42

Driver load issues can also be found in the areas identified. Look at the entries other that Event ID 100.

Have at good look at the advice in this TechNet wiki article:

Windows Server 2008: Event ID 7026 — Basic Service Control Manager Operations
Event ID 7000 or 7026 is logged in the System log on a computer that is running Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 R2, or Windows Server 2008

It may provide a bit more insight and possibly a solution.

On a whim, I checked out Logitech's website, and found an updated driver, dated 10/18/11.. I installed it, thinking it would solve the issue. Unfortunately, it didn't. In fact I got the same familiar tone. I immediately went to the Event Viewer, to see what may have caused it. I found the error, and as I review the previous days entries, the same error shows up there also.
It reads as follows:
Log Name: Application
Source: Microsoft-Windows-WMI
Date: 10/27/2011 6:26:04 PM
Event ID: 10
Task Category: None
Level: Error
Keywords: Classic
User: N/A
Computer: xxxxxxx
Description:
Event filter with query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "Win32_Processor" AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" could not be reactivated in namespace "//./root/CIMV2" because of error 0x80041003. Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected.
This same error appears each day when I boot up.
Unfortunately, I don't understand it.
Help!!!

Have you tried the solution provided here by user Ramis?

**jwitalka** · 2011-10-27 18:10

If that doesn't work, see Microsoft KB 950375. Set a System restore point before trying this or Ruirib's solution.
The KB article indicates the error can be safely ignored however so I'm not sure it is related to your problem.

I tried the script shown in Microsoft KB 950375. It took care of the WMI error that I was getting in my Event Viewer. Strangely, I still get the same tone at boot up. There are no more errors showing, but I do have a Warning. It reads:
Log Name: Application
Source: SQLBrowser
Date: 10/28/2011 8:54:44 AM
Event ID: 3
Task Category: None
Level: Warning
Keywords: Classic
User: N/A
Computer: xxxxxxxxxx
Description:
The configuration of the AdminConnection\TCP protocol in the SQL instance MAXIMIZER is not valid.

Maximizer is the instance name, under SqlServer Express 2005.
This warning seems to also show up at boot up. I didn't think I would get a tone, due to a warning though. Any thoughts?
Thanks
Dave
