MCSTRM.SYS

[CatChase]

I am sick of looking for the answer to this.

Every shut down of my PC results in an error in the event log:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7000
Date: 5/18/2009
Time: 4:02:43 PM
User: N/A
Computer: DESKTOP
Description:
The MCSTRM service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the file specified.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.


This has been ongoing for over a year. I research it when I have time.
This problem slows the shut down process so that it takes more than two
minutes.

I have looked at real.com and several other areas, including MS KB. No help.

Does anyone have an answer for this?
