system hangs after installing sptd.sys

[zaphman]

Just to confirm there is a problem--hanging just before switching to to the login ``page''.

For me it seams as if the hang occurs randomly. Sometimes I need to reset to computer once or twice, but then it will come up.

Mobo: ASUS A8N-E, nForce4 Ultra
SMB + Eternet drivers installed (no firewall)
CPU: AMD 3500+
GPU: ASUS ATI X1600XT (fanless)
DISKS: Western Digital Sata II
Maxtor DiamondMax 10 Sata II

Have not yet tried the NCQ disable ``fix''.

Doesn't work for me,
some of the registry reappear after deleted(Even though not installed)
and Windws always makes sure that there's a scsiport.sys inplace(the file I have renamed apear with the original file)

Fix that worked for me

I found a fix! Nothing else on these forums provided me with a solution to this problem, but after some extensive tinkering I found a way to do it. Here is a link to a short page I made with the steps to solving the problem:

Hope this works

Maybe I have a second idea on solving this problem.

I recently had the same sptd.sys bug (no proper restart possible).

My system run perfectly with 2 onboard IDE, 1 SCSI pci and 1 RAID pci controller, SW:EaW and CureRom etc.

I changed my burners firmware and everything stopped.

No solution offered here worked.

I searched the registry and found 4 (four) entries regarding sptd.sys. I deleted all and reinstalled the sptd.sys.
I researched the registry and found (as expected) only 2 entries for sptd.sys.

System booted up properly. Everything is fine again

I am wondering if you have the same configuration and have already tried to disable that special mode on your system? Do you not want to try the programs ncqoff or ncq-fix?

Doubtful that this is a clear fix.
Most people I see reporting this only temporarily helps on some occasions. I had Daemon tools working fine for a few days and now my system hangs before login. I've tried everything everyone said.

I'm not sure if I should blame NVidia or Daemon-Tools, I use Daemon-Tools like I couldn't live without, this is going to be hard for me to do without.

Thx for the info.

I figured out why my system always hangs when trying to load sptd.sys.

my config:
nVidia nForce 4 Chipset (driver ver. 6.69)
S-ATA II Harddisk
daemon-tools 4.03 x64

The problem is Native Command Queuing - after disabling it daemon-tools works just fine.
