I have been having issues with hanging at the boot screen lately and decided to have a look see in my device manager. There is a yellow exclamation point next to wan mini port. When I open it it says Wan mini port (atw),network adapter, manufacturer, American online, then it goes on to says NDIS.VxD,NTKERN. VxD device loader could not be loaded for this device, code 2.

I don't use American online, we do have AIM instant messenger. I did tryy to update the driver, but it couldn't find it.

There are no check marks in the boxes under Device usage.
Any ideas! Thanks!

Thanks Tracer, I looked both those links over and neither seems to address the issue.
I am not good with network type stuff so I am not sure if this is even needed since I have cable internet and have for years.

I just realized I wrote this in the wrong place so I amgoing to ask that it be moved to Networking!

Okie dokie! :) It is longer listed in my device manager but I still have the lag at boot-time. When I went to remove it, I was asked to insert my win 98 disk and it said it couldn't find a file, aol something or other and I hit cancel after trying the other options and then the ,would you like to reboot box came up and I have rebooted twice since then and still get about a 3 minute lag at the boot screen.

go to here and download 'Hijack This!'.
First make a folder on your computer in my documents called Hijackthis and then Unzip it to that folder.
Then doubleclick the Hijackthis.exe.
Click the "Scan" button, when the scan is finished the scan button will become "Save Log" click that and save the log.
Go to where you saved the log and click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" then Paste the log back here in a reply.
It will possibly show issues deserving our attention, but most of what it lists will be harmless or even required,
so do NOT fix anything yet.
Someone here will be happy to help you analyze the results.

Candy it's Win98 se, It started lagging about a month ago! It starts going thru the boot process, Hit's the boot screen, says something to the effect of.... blah blah,mouse detected,keyboard detected then hangs a bit, at the bottom of this screen it says to hit F1 to enter set-up, it will hang then say fireball (???) hard-drive detected hangs for moment then loads. I don't hit the F1 it just goes thru on it's own after a long hang...
Derek here's my HJT log, I do try to look at my hjt log every so often!

Well for some reason F1 didn't get me anywhere so I hit F2 instead, then saved changes, things are still the same.I am hoping to get a new computer soon ,then I was going to dump everything on this one and start with a fresh install. I am just happy it still loads at all :D
Take care!

I poked around in the bio's, not as scarey as I thought it would be :) , I did not see anything pertaining to Smart! Other than that I wouldn't know whats what in there.

Derek,I did do a file search and found some aol files. I am not sure how they got there but I 'm working on getting them out. When I saw the Yellow ! and it's properties told me american online, I searched around and the only thing I could find stated that it causes the boot up lag or a shut down lag. I am pretty sure I have two seperate issues here. Thanks for your help!

Same lag coming out of safe mode! It lags before the splash screen. I am thinking the hard drive is starting to go, that is where it seems to lag. I never used to see this screen as it would always roll by fast and you'd only catch a quick glimpse. It starts to lag right after it detects the keyboard and mouse, like it's thinking then it gets to the hard drive detects it, then loads.

Thanks for all your help Candy, I think I am going to hold off the HD test until my brother gets back in town to help surpervise the operation ;)
I'll spend the next few days searching around to see what kinds of updates I can give the old dog... Take care!
