IIRC there’s a way to delay startup of certain features, like network adapters. Let me do some more research and get back to you.

Got it…make a file on your desktop with this EXACT contents. name it “delay\_load\_PTC\_FLEXlm.reg”. make sure the icon is a little block with sub-blocks removed and not the text file extension…

```auto

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\FLEXlm server for PTC]
"DependOnService"=hex(7):4e,49,43,31,33,39,34,00,00

```

double click on it (hopefully it asks you to merge this information into the registry) click “OK” or “Yes” and then reboot and it should work fine from now on.

I created the .reg file, ran it, it inserted the info in the registry, rebooted the computer and still get the error.

OK, let’s do the following then.

First, make a new .reg file with this exact contents…this removes the service startup order we just put in place (which, by the way, was backwards…:doh:)

```auto

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\FLEXlm server for PTC]
"DependOnService"=hex(7):00

```

…double click, accept registry changes again.

Finally, make a third new .reg file…

```auto

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NIC1394]
"DependOnService"=hex(7):46,4c,45,58,6c,6d,20,73,65,72,76,65,72,20,66,6f,72,20,\
  50,54,43,00,00

```

and double click on that new one.

Reboot one more time.

Still didn’t work. I copied and pasted from above but wasn’t sure if there should be a carriage return after the \ in the .reg file or not.

REGEDIT4

[HKEY\_LOCAL\_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NIC1394]  
“DependOnService”=hex(7):46,4c,45,58,6c,6d,20,73,65,72,76,65,72,20,66,6f,72,20,

The file must look EXACTLY like what I placed in the

```auto
 code 

```

section

Do you want me to come out and work on the computer at some point? Where is this computer located?

I should have it the same then.

It’s in Edgewood/Swissvale. If I was actually trying to use that card then I might ask for more help. If this had worked then it would have been great, but since I have a workaround I’m not going to inconvenience anyone any more than i already have!
