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.

22

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…


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.

23

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

24

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:)


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…


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.

25

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,
50,54,43,00,00

26

The file must look EXACTLY like what I placed in the

 code

section

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

27

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!
