Vista 32 bit business edition with SP1 hang on boot sometimes...

[Luka Manojlovic [MVP]]

Hi!

I have HP laptop with Vista preinstalled and sometimes it hangs on boot...
Now it has SP1 and it is fully updated... I activated boot logging and I get
this errors:

After it hangs I just shut the computer off ("dirty way" - by holding the
power button for a few seconds) and turn it back on - and it sucessfuly
boots...

This is more frequent error...
Loaded driver \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\srv.sys
Did not load driver \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\srv.sys

But on last "hang" I got have:

Loaded driver \SystemRoot\System32\Drivers\NDProxy.SYS
Did not load driver \SystemRoot\System32\Drivers\NDProxy.SYS

Loaded driver \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\srv.sys
Did not load driver \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\srv.sys

Is it possible that HP restore image (it is on a separate partition) is
somehow damaged?

I believe that NDProxy.SYS is a network driver... Any chance that there is a
resource confict between devices? Like IRQ's maybe.

I do not think so... Everything is working ok when it boots... No conflicts,
no "new hardware detection..." no problems...
But even in BIOS I am not able to "resed" IRQ configuration...

By IRQ conflicts,he wants you to go into Device Manager, right-click on your
Network adaptor>Properties,and chaeck for conflicts!

No problems.

Have you tried running "sfc /scannow" from an elevated command prompt yet?

It may not solve the problem, but it certainly can't hurt to try it.
