Startup problems with DW
Vista Home Premium, Dell XPS410, SP1 installed and up-to-date on patches.
Installation was fresh (not an upgrade) In investigating why my system will not successfully hibernate I came upon the following in Event Viewer: The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load: DW Event 7026, Service Control Manager Eventlog Provider In HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services is an entry \DW it includes values for ERRORCONTROL, START, TYPE (each has value of 1) Other entries in ....\Services have a value for ImagePath that says where the item is located, there is no such location for 'DW' So the question is is this normal, anyone have comment on expected consequences of removing \DW from ....\services? (From looking around DW may be a stub for Dr. Watson in XP ?????) Thanks, Michael

Startup problems with DW
but there is no DW program (exe,dll,sys) in there and the registry entry has
no pointer to anywhere. I am kind of thinking that the folder structure is there to fool XP aware programs that used Dr Watson. Michael "Ian D" wrote in message ...
