SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\VirtualDeviceDrivers, format of pilot of virtual device in the registry is invalid.

I am running Vista Home Premium, 16-bit. I recently tried to re - install a CAD program that worked on the system before installation of Service Pack 2. A message appears reading: SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\VirtualDeviceDrivers, format of pilot of virtual device in the registry is invalid. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application. The installation is not successful. I tried to add the VirtualDeviceDriver key in the registry as suggested in this forum for similar problems, but this did not make a difference. Please let know us other solutions.

Hello

I suggest you try the steps below and check if it helps

 

Method 1:

Try to uninstall and program resinstall the CAD

Method 2:

If the problem persists you can also try to run the program in compatibility level: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/What-is-program-compatibility

Hope this information is useful.

  • cleaning hklm\system\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network

    Background: after several attempts to fix a virtual adapter installed by Oracle VirtualBox, I seem to end up with a bunch of orphaned entries in the registry referenced key.  Normally, when the product is installed, it creates a network called "VirtualBox in Ethernet Adapter" adapter, running on 192.168.56.1 (in general).  The last few iterations the installation is completed, but with the message 'cannot rename this connection. "  A check "ipconfig - a" shows an adapter named simply "Local 3 network connection Ethernet card" on this address.  As a result of other tracks, I arrived at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\ {4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}, where the higher level revealed a link with the NAME of 'VirtualBox networking' property, as well as a connection with the NAME property of "Local 3" network connection.  My working theory is that VBox first creates an adapter with a generic name, then trying to rename 'VirtualBox networking', but somewhere along the line, the "VirtualBox networking" connection name has been suspended on the left and resulted in the error message and the adapter on the left with the generic name.  In addition, the same registry key shows several connections named "Local Area Connection * n", where n is a number between 2 and 21, inclusive, plus one without a number after the asterisk ("' Local Area Connection *" ")

    Now, to post here because I would like to clean whateve mess is indicated by the present.  There are some parts of the registry that I'm used to piracy, but this isn't one of them.  Is it safe to just delete one of these attachments? Or are they cross - referenced somewhere else and I'd end up breaking all my network?  What are all these "" Local area connection * ' keys? "  are they orphans left-top, or place holders to be usable and name change?  If the orphans, which is the safest way to clean them?

  • Windows Update driver Fresco Logic USB Hub rot caused the pilot to read device status: the drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28).

    Windows Update driver Fresco Logic USB Hub rot caused the pilot to read device status: the drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28). The Roll Back button is not active. Where can I get the previous driver that came with my system. ASUS N53S Windows 7. Thank you very much.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

    I understand your annoyance that you cannot update the driver hub USB rot. Please follow the steps below to help you to solve the problem.

    I would like to inform you that a Code 28 error is caused by a driver missing for that piece of hardware.

    There are all sorts of reasons that a driver could not be installed for a device, but your troubleshooting the problem will be the same regardless of the root cause.

    • Remove or reconfigure newly installed unit.
    • Restore the version before your driver update.
    • Use system restore to undo recent changes in Device Manager.

    Step 1: Roll back the driver to the version before your update.

    If you are having problems with your computer or device after upgrading sound driver, you can restore to an earlier device driver. If you are having problems with your computer or device after upgrading sound driver, you can restore to an earlier device driver. If you are having problems with your computer or device after upgrading sound driver, you can restore to an earlier device driver. If you are having problems with your computer or device after upgrading sound driver, you can restore to an earlier device driver. Check out the link below to make back the driver:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows/restore-driver-previous-version#1TC=Windows-7

    When Windows 7 starts up again, it will load with the device driver of this material that you had previously installed.

    I suggest you to uninstall the driver from hub to rot Fresco Logic USB Device Manager and install the most recent on the manufacturer's Web site.

  • dot1x system-auth-control on 62xx and all port/traffic goes down?

    Hello

    with three VLANS, and now presenting only certain ports that I do the dot1x:

    RD (config) #dot1x # system - auth - control enable

    RD (config) #aaa authentication dot1x default # spot within a RADIUS to RADIUS

    RD (config) #interface ethernet 1/g1 # bind it to a port

    RD #dot1x (config-if-1/g1) auto # config dot1x port-control

    I assumed dot1x must be forced/enabled on port/int per basis and before it's done there's no dot1x, but it seems that - dot1x system-auth-control - does not wait for anything and everything stops instantly.

    Is this desired behavior?

    And if yes then how introduced little by little dot1x, looking fixedly with an ethernet port that are configured as here:

    1/g1

    Flow control: enabled

    Port: g1/1

    Belonging to a VLAN: access mode Mode

    Operating parameters:

    PVID: 1

    Capture filtering: enabled

    Acceptable frame type: no label

    Default priority: 0

    GVRP status: Disabled

    Protected: disabled

    -Other - or ITU (q)

    Port 1/g1 is a member of:

    Rule of VLAN name evacuation Type

    ----    --------------------------------- -----------   --------

    1 by default not marked by default

    Static configuration:

    PVID: 1

    Capture filtering: enabled

    Acceptable frame type: no label

    Port 1/g1 is configured statically:

    Output name rule of VLAN

    ----    --------------------------------- -----------

    Prohibition of VLAN:

    Name of VLAN

    ----    ---------------------------------

    A lot! Thank you

    L.

    OK, you can implement other dot1x controls without having them no effect on the switch until the "dot1x system-auth-control' is given.

    I will certainly take a look at your other post.
