Driver AFD.SYS in not loading properly and getting booting error
If I start my computer then it will simply hang at the microsoft loading screen. So, I have to boot up in safe mode and then restart my pc to get Windows desktop. I have already reinstalled all the drivers in my pc for lan and graphics card but still the problem persist. When I checked a boot log then I saw the main problem that is listed there states that "Did not load driver AFD.SYS". Can anyone tell me how do I solve this issue? Thanks
Re: Driver AFD.SYS in not loading properly and getting booting error
The AFD.SYS error that you are getting is a part of Winsock. It is used to provide access to the rest of the network stack for apps and different components of the operating system. If it is not there then mail clients and web browsers will not work. When you boot in safe mode then does the computer boot without any errors? Have you got the Vista DVD or is it an OEM OS that came preinstalled?
