  • PnP Bios Extension error and no Virtual SCSI Controller

    Operating System: XP Pro SP1
    Burning Software: CDBurnerXP Pro
    Anti-virus Software: Grisoft AVG
    DAEMON Tools Version: 341

    This is on a new IBM thinkpad.

    Bios PnP Error is: Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

    I have no SCSI/RAID devices.

    Tried uninstall/reinstall restarts several times. It say "install successful" then "no virtual scsi driver" when I try to start the program.

    thanks in advance!

      Thanks for the response. There isn't even an entry in the device manager for the pnphark...in the event log it just said it can't find the file specified for st3shark and pnpshark.

      For the same reaon, Smbus and DCOM also didn't start on my system, though I don't think it's part of the problem.

      thanks!

        So what can we do then if even files have not been copied to system?
        Even no pnpshark.sys in Systme32\Drivers folder?
        Better uninstall your antivirus completely to check then.

          Virus software is set only to scan on demand, but I disabled anyhow and did a repair. Now only 1 error in the system log: The following system-start drive failed to load: pnpshark

          pnpshark is in the drivers directory.

          There are now two pnpbios extentions in the device manager, both saying the driver is corrupt or missing, and still no enttires for SCSI/RAID of any kind.

          The following services are set to 'disable' on my system:

          Application Layer Gateway
          Background Intelligent Transfer
          Computer Browser
          Distributed Link Tracking
          Error reporting
          Human Interface Device Access
          Messenger
          NetMeeting Desktop Sharing
          Network Location Awareness
          NT LM Security Support Provider
          Portable Media Serial Number
          Remote Registry
          Routing and remote access
          TCP/IP NetBios helper
          Telnet
          Terminal Services
          Upload Manager
          WebClient
          Windows Time

          This was done after carefully reading the Black Viper's security tips page. I have had one other problem on my system related to virutal devices - my USB to Serial port adapter also can't load its drivers either.
