Hi there,
I tried to upgrade a 486 machine running NT4 to Win2K Pro with scary results:
* At the beginning of upgrade, I got a warning about potentially
incompatible devices. One was my SMC EZ 10/100 NIC card. I checked online
to see if there is a driver for this device for Win2K...found one at
DriverGuide. So I ignored the warning figuring I could upgrade later if
there was a problem.
* During the upgrade, I received an error that said that a certain file,
sqloledb.dl_ could not be found. So, I found it online and pointed the
upgrade at it. That worked.
* Following the upgrade I get a Stop error on boot. It says:
***STOP: 0X000000BE (0xBFEE3BC3, 0x047D8121, 0XF081B6F0, 0x0000000B)
*** Address BFEE3BC3 base at BFED4000, DateStamp 38437eba - NDIS.sys
If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your
computer. If this screen appear again, follow these steps:
etc...will spare you the rest of the standard STOP error message...assuming
you're familar with it.
* On restart, same thing.
* Machine can go into safe mode. I booted in safe mode and reran the Win2K
upgrade, figuring a bad install. I received an error that there was software
which was not finished installing, so the upgrade could not continue. I
followed the directions (log off, log back on), but no resolution. I looked
the error up in MS support and was directed to empty a certain registry key (
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Runonce ), which
I did. That allowed the re-upgrade to continue (still in safe mode). It
concluded with no errors.
* Upon reboot, the same Stop error occurs.
* OTHER CLUES?:
* When I boot in safe mode, directly after selecting Safe Mode there is a
scrolling list of directory paths before going into the startup screen. The
next to last file is this NDIS.sys.
* When I boot in Safe Mode with Networking, I get the same scrolling list,
which stops at NDIS.sys, and then I get the STOP error.
* Finally...after sucessfully booting in safe mode, I get a window (with
header "16 bit Windows
Subsystem") after about 5 minutes that says
"D:\PROGRA~1\Symantec\S32EVNT1.DLL. An installable Virtual Device Driver
failed Dll initialization. Choose "Close" to terminate the application."
Thanks for your help.
