SPTD.sys and other .sys problem

[Sphagnum]

SPTD 1.42 is old. 1.50 is the current version, and there's a 1.51 public beta version available for download now.

My mistake. I forgot to edit message. I copy that from other forum.

To download 1.5 go here www.duplexsecure.com

my desktop running windows 2000 pro will not start in safe mode or normal mode b/c it is missing sptd.sys

if i let it start up w/o going into advanced settings, it gvies me a blue screen with this message:

"Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed hard drives controllers. Check your hard drive to make sure it is properly configured and terminated. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.

Refer to your Getting Starting manual for more information on troubleshooting Stop errors."


however, i cant start the os at all and cant find my microsoft disks

all of microsofts updates are auto installed
no recent crashes
most recent downloaded software: vlc media player
recently uninstalled daemon tools
anti-virus program runs once a week or so
AVG ^ includes anti trojan i think

Windows 2000 cannot fail start just because sptd.sys is missing. In that case it will simply ignore it and continue boot.
In your case you seem to have some other problem.
