Re: Error 0xc0000034 - Unable to Load Device Driver



CM_PROB_NO_SOFTCONFIG
Text that is displayed in Device Manager:
Windows cannot determine the settings for this device. Consult the
documentation that came with this device and use the Resource tab to set the
configuration. (Code 34)

Cause;
This behavior usually occurs with legacy ISA (non-Plug and Play) devices
that require you to manually configure the device. Although Windows 2000
provides no support internally for legacy ISA devices, you may be able to
use the device in Windows 2000. For information about mixing legacy ISA and
PCI devices on the same system, refer to the "CM_PROB_NORMAL_CONFLICT"
section of this article.
Troubleshooting
Verify the settings for this device on the hardware itself and configure the
device on the Resources tab in the properties for the device in Device
Manager. An invalid device driver can cause this behavior. Verify that the
driver you are using is digitally signed for Windows 2000. If not, download
a digitally signed driver from the system manufacturer's Web site.
