Hello.
I have a client who is running a desktop system with Windows 2000
Professional SP4. I am unable to get the Workstation service to start on the
system. When I attempt to start the service I get the following error dialog
box:
"Windows could not start the Workstation on Local Computer. For more
information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft
service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code
2250."
A quick check of the System Event Log shows the following two entries:
Entry 1-
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Workstation
Event ID: 5727
Description: Could not load RDR device driver.
Data: 0000: 34 00 00 c0 4..A
Entry 2-
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event ID: 7024
Description: The Workstation service terminated with service-specific error
2250.
I am unable to find anything relateing to error 2250 or any useful
information regarding two event log entries.. This appears to be a
long-standing problem on this workstation as entries of this type go back at
least 6 months. As I am only working on a specific project for this client,
I have no idea what may have been done in the past to cause this problem.
Note that I experience the exact same problem when attempting to start the
Workstation service in Safe Mode w/Networking so I do not believe the problem
is being caused by a rogue piece of softare.
Any suggestions on how to correct this would be most appreciated.
Thanks!
