Well, I do. What does that mean?

I assumed that it was normal as, indeed, in safe mode many drivers are not
loaded. What 7026 says, apparently, is that those drivers are missing.

Any ideas?

Thank you

JB

More information is necessary to help understand and resolve your
issue.

We need some system information and the actual contents of the Event
Log message.

Click Start, Run and in the box enter:

msinfo32

Click OK, and when the System Summary info appears, click Edit, Select
All, Copy and then paste
back here.

There will be some personal information (like System Name and User
Name), and whatever appears to
be private information to you, just delete from the pasted
information.

Here is a method to post the specific information about individual
events.

To see the Event Viewer logs, click Start, Settings, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, Event Viewer.

A shortcut to Event Viewer is to click Start, Run and in the box
enter:

%SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc /s

Click OK to launch the Event Viewer.

The most interesting logs are usually the Application and System.
Some logs may be almost or completely empty.
Not every event is a problem, some are informational messages that
things are working okay and some are warnings.
No event should defy reasonable explanation.

Each event is sorted by Date and Time. Errors will have red Xs,
Warnings will have yellow !s.
Information messages have white is. Not every Error or Warning event
means there is a serious issue.
Some are excusable at startup time when Windows is booting. Try to
find just the events at the date
and time around your problem.

If you double click an event, it will open a Properties windows with
more information. On the right are
black up and down arrow buttons to scroll through the open events. The
third button that looks like
two pages on top of each other is used to copy the event details to
your Windows clipboard.

When you find an interesting event that occurred around the time of
your issue, click the third button
under the up and down arrows to copy the details and then you can
paste the details (right click, Paste
or CTRL-V) the detail text back here for analysis.

To get a fresh start on any Event Viewer log, you can choose to clear
the log (backing up the log is offered),
then reproduce your issue, then look at just the events around the
time of your issue.

That is perfect.

I am not finished looking yet but it looks familiar (I don't see any
of that on my home grown system).

How are you getting into Safe Mode?

Are you invoking Safe Mode to troubleshoot a particular issue and what
is the issue?

While you are waiting, please do this too:

Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware
detection programs:

Malwarebytes (MBAM): http://malwarebytes.org/
SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

They can be uninstalled later if desired.

Oh yeah - what do you have installed now for antivirus, malware
detection, etc. Norton, McAfee, Spybot, ZoneAlarm, AVG, Microsoft
stuff, etc.

Hi Jose

I use Avast (free) anti-virus, Comodo (free) Firewall an updated Hosts file
and up-to-date SpywareBlaster.

I scan regularly, including MalwareBytes.

Sometimes I prefer to scan in SafeMode if I feel there might be something
lurking. Whenever I do I get the errors that you saw in EventViewer.


Thanks, again

JB

It probably means you've got a hijackware infection on your hands.

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)?

Has a(another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the
computer (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought
it)?

Is Automatic Updates enabled & is the computer fully-patched at Windows
Update?

Is Task Manager and/or Regedit functional?

Hi

As I wrote in an earlier post, I have Avast, Comodo and SpywareBlaster. Yes
I had McAfee (paid for) in the past, but I gave it up long ago. Automatic
Updates are enabled and I scan very, very often with SpyBot, MalwareBytes
and Online scanners. The system is, according to all these progs, clean.

I am not sure what you mean by: 'Is Task Manager and/or Regedit functional'.
I access regedit often without trouble. task manager I never use directly.

Thanks for your interest

JB

I have just tried to use Task Manager for the first time ever. It did not
work, but there was a notice warning that it might not because I did not use
a password.

Did you (1) uninstall the McAfee application /and then/ (2) download/run the
McAfee Consumer Products Removal Tool (3) /before/ you installed Avast and
(4) /before/ your McAfee subscription had expired?

Back-up any personal data (none of which should be considered 100%
trustworthy at this point) then format the HDD & do a clean install of
Windows. Please note that a Repair Install (AKA in-place upgrade) will NOT
fix this!

HOW TO do a clean install of WinXP: See
http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html#steps and/or Method 1 in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978307

After the clean install, you'll have the equivalent of a "new computer" so
take care of everything on the following page before otherwise connecting
the machine to the internet or a local network (i.e., other computers) and
before using a flash drive or SDCard that isn't brand-new or hasn't been
freshly formatted:

4 steps to help protect your new computer before you go online

HOW TO get a computer running WinXP Gold (no Service Packs) fully patched
(after a clean install)

HOW TO get a computer running WinXP SP1(a) or SP2 fully patched (after a
clean install)
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.general/msg/a066ae41add7dd2b

Tip: After getting the computer fully-patched, download/install KB971029
manually: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971029

NB: Any Norton or McAfee free-trial that came preinstalled on the computer
when you bought it will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is
reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the free-trial and download/run the
appropriate removal tool before installing any updates, Windows Service
Packs or IE upgrades and before installing your new anti-virus application
(which will require WinXP SP3 to be installed).

Norton Removal Tool

If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting
this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) computer repair shop.

Thank you PA Bear

A1. I've referenced McAfee at least twice in this thread. Which one are you
referring to?

A2. Since you can't tell me if the McAfee subscription had expired before
you replaced it with Avast, I must assume that it had and that your System
Restore problem is being caused by a hijackware infection which may have
been around since the McAfee subscription expired.

Hi

McAfee subscription had not expired before I replaced it with Avast. My
System Restore is totally deleted regularly.

But I don't understand what you mean by my System Restore problem. I was
not aware that I had one. My problem, if it is a problem, has to do with
errors in Event Viewer when I start in Safe Mode (only when I start in safe
Mode).

Personally, I thought they were normal as it appears, to me, that it has to
do with internet connection which in safe mode is not available.

If you have any information on that it would be helpful.

JB

Look what I found on my system:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7026
Date: 3/3/2010
Time: 7:42:30 AM
Description:
The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:
AFD
Fips
IPSec
MRxSmb
NetBIOS
NetBT
Processor
RasAcd
Rdbss
SASDIFSV
SASKUTIL
Tcpip
For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

Looks similar and this happens only when I boot in Safe Mode without
networking. If I boot Safe mode with networking, I do not have this
informative message.

I interpret it to mean the drivers are failing to load because they
are not supposed to load unless you boot Safe mode with networking.
So I think this is normal for the boot option selected.

I have the exact same ones you have, you just have a couple more.
Your environment is not the same as mine of course - you have some
things I don't have, but you have more things installed than I do (it
sounds like).

If I boot in Safe Mode I tend to use Networking and have never looked
at the Event Log for the different boot options until now.

The OP says he was booting in Safe Mode - not Safe Mode with
Networking.

Do you see the same things when you boot in Safe Mode with networking
or do you only see it in just plain Safe Mode?

> My System Restore is totally deleted regularly.

Are you intentionally deleting/removing Restore Points or is this happening
on its own? If the former, why are you doing so? If the latter, no, it is
NOT normal and you may be seeing the effects of a hijackware infection.
