  • Code 10: device cannot start Network Adapters

    Hello,
    I need help, my Media Player is not working right.  I keep getting this message; code 10:  device cannot start Network Adapters.  Please help, I tried to reinstall Windows Media Player 11, I even deleted the one on my laptop it kept saying it was still there.  I went in to the Device Managers and to Network Adapters, there is one that shows it is not working properly, Toredo tunneling.
    Please, Please help I need to download a document tonight.

    hey DTTODGG,
    since you have uninstalled the drivers under device manager, were you able to use the "update drivers" ?
    Anyway, is your system running on Win7 .. if it is, I believe that Win7 should have installed some generic drivers for you.
    Also could you check under the properties of your Network Adapter, is the device enabled ? If it isn't, enable it.

    Hi,I've upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 Home and now the CD drive is missing and displays an error code"10" DEVICE CANNOT START, under Device Manager.
    Looked for updated drivers on HP Support,there are none for CD drive.
    Cannot roll back driver,greyed out.
    Used Restore to revert back 2 months and still no progress. Removed recently installed software from HP(C5280) printer as well.

  • R61: Intel 82566MC Gigabit Network Device Cannot Start (Code 10)

    Hi
    I purchased a Western Digital 7200 rpm 320 GB hard drive (the WD3200BJKT) a few days ago to be installed in my ThinkPad R61 (model 773215A). After making a fresh install of Windows XP SP3 and all the drivers, everything seemed to work fine except for my ethernet device, which is an Intel 82566MC Gigabit Network Connection. I obtained the following error code: "This device cannot start. (Code 10)". The ethernet device only functioned once, which was right after I installed its driver after the fresh install of Windows XP. However as soon as I rebooted, I received the above mentioned error code. By the way, the device was working fine before I changed my hard drive.
    I have tried everything described in troubleshooting guides available online, including disabling and enabling the ethernet device, uninstalling and reinstalling the ethernet device and updating the drivers, but to no avail. The only way I could make it function again is by switching off my notebook, unplugging and replugging the power adapter and finally switching the notebook on again. If I were to do a restart, or switch my notebook off and on without unplugging the power adapter, the ethernet device would not function.
    I have a feeling that it might be the bios. I am currently using the latest bios (version 2.26), and I noticed that this bios was 'supposed' to fix "The "New Hardware Found" message for Intel Gigabit Ethernet may appear." Looks like some problems with the Intel Gigabit Ethernet still exist. However I have tried flashing several older versions of the bios, but the problem still persists. Appreciate any help/suggestions I could get. Thanks.

    Hello
    I bought my R61 beginning of 2008, and since then I had this problem - only with the LAN device, NOT with WLAN - 3 times. It did never have something to do with reinstalling Windows or installing a new device like a HD, it just happend, usually after configuering new network properties (with the tool Access Connections). 
    The first time when I experienced this, I tried to reinstall the NIC driver, but that didn't help.
    Every time, after 2 or 3 days, the problem simply disapeard.
    I have on the same laptop, on a second HD partition, a Debian Linux installed. This time, my NIC started its "time-out" after configuering new network properties on Linux, and it does not work anymore on neither Linux nor Windows (2 days so far).
    It's really annoying, and because it seems the OS has no influence, I think it is Lenovo's job to fix this problem.
    I belive it's - like mhafiz says - a BIOS problem, or some hardware issue, so please: Lenovo, it's your turn!
    I always bought Thinkpad Laptops until now, and I think they are in quality high above any other brand, and I really hope this will continue.
    Chris 
    PS: I hope your (and also mine, like it did before) NICs will just resume operating after a while...

  • Driver install with PXI 8360 Error " This device cannot start - Code 10"

    While trying to instal PXI-6541 in PXI-1036 chassi with PXI 8360 controller[express-8360 on laptop side] , getting the error message "This device cannot start [Code 10]" Laptop is Lenovo T60 with latest BIOS

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello Manu,
    I'm sorry to hear that you are having so many issues with getting your Expresscard 8360 working on your Lenovo. I recommend that we first look into Device Manager in more details. You mentioned that there were question marks (?) on certain devices. This usually means that there are devices on your PC that do not have any associated hardware drivers. For the Expresscard 8360, the drivers should be native to the Windows system, so I am unsure if those "?" do belong to this portion of the system. We can test this out by removing the expresscard 8360 and see if the "?" are still present. These "?" can be from the internals of the PC or modules that you've attached. If you've restored your operating system recently, it could be from the peripherals of your computer in which case you will need to find and install the chipset drivers. This can also be from the modules that you in your chassis, assuming that you haven't installed the necessary drivers for them, in which case you can find them on the Driver CD you have.
    The exclamation mark (!) in Device Manager usually signifies a problem with getting the hardware started/operational. From your earlier posts I believe that the "!" is related to the Error Code 10 that you are receiving. Assuming that the correct power sequence was performed, chassis then PC, this is representative of a BIOS compatibility issue. Essentially this is occuring because the BIOS of the motherboard is not correctly allocating the necessary resources to all the devices as it is supposed to. Since you already have the latest BIOS, I would recommend that you try using the MXI Express Compatibility Software, here ni.com/beta. This is something that National Instruments created in order to correct for the incorrect resource allocation of the PC. It is not a beta program, it is only on the site so that we can manage it more easily. I have seen Lenovo T60 laptops work with this software installed.
    Let me know if this helps
    Thanks

  • Bootcamp bluetooth driver issue ("This device cannot start. (Code 10)")

    Hi everyone,
    I have a problem (re)pairing my Apple mighty mouse with Windows 7 under Bootcamp.
    Initially I had my mouse working through updating the driver to the one from Apple as is described on various forums.
    After rebooting my laptop the mouse didn’t connect anymore. So I tried to repeat updating the driver to the apple one. But this time it didn’t work.
    I then updated the Bootcamp drivers from the OSX installation disc.
    Then, when I checked the hardware, it showed:
    Apple Built-in Bluetooth
    Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator
    Under these setting my computer still doesn’t detect my mouse under windows.
    So I checked to see if I could update my drivers again. This time there were four instead of two:
    Apple Broadcom Built-in Bluetooth version 3.1.0.1 [23-11-2009]
    Apple Broadcom Built-in Bluetooth version 4.0.0.1 [27-4-2011]
    Apple Built-in Bluetooth
    Apple Built-in BluetoothDFU
    First there were only the first two. Of these two, the first one worked for the first time I paired my mouse.
    When I change the driver to any of the three other than the Apple Built-in Bluetooth, it says:
    “Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device” with this error:
    “This device cannot start. (Code 10)"
    After trying this, the initially set driver (Apple Built-in Bluetooth) gives the same error. Resulting in having to reinstall all the drivers all over again.
    Anyone encountered the same problem or at least the error of “This device cannot start. (Code 10)"?
    Thanks.

    What kind of reinmstall did you perform?  If you used the recovery media, then this will be pretty simple. Boot to the recovewry media again and this time select the Reinstall drivers and applications option. Find the audio driver on the list of available drivers, put a tick in the box to its left and then click on the install button in the lower right hand corner of the window. The driver will be installed.  Your list will be different than the following one, but this is only an example.

    I've tried enabling/disabling UAC.
    I've run the drivers as an admin.
    I've formatted a few times just to make sure no driver conflicts.
    Also I've tested the card on another PC running XP sp3 works fine.
    PCI slot works fine as well tested with an ethernet card.
    You've tried about everything.
    Did you try to disable any non essential onboard devices (HD Audio, LAN, additional SATA/IDE controller etc)?
    What about installing XP on a spare dri've?

  • P55-GD85: USB3.0 not working (device cannot start)

    I'm running Windows 7 x86 and I've installed all the new drivers from the MSI homepage. Unfortunately, the USB 3.0 Host Controller is not working.
    There is a device "Renesas Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller" but I do have the error message "This device cannot start. (Code 10)".
    I also tried to install the driver delivered with the motherboard with the same result.
    Any suggestions? Could it be a hardware problem?

    What if you manually uninstall the device from Windows Device Manager then let Device Manager rescan and reinstall?
    Try to check the disk file system for errors.  MY COMPUTER > RIGHT CLICK on C Drive and select PROPERTIES.  TOOLS then select CHECK NOW.  Tick the top box.
    Also try to cleanup with CCleaner and run Malwarebytes.  I've fixed quite a few systems with CODE 10 issues using the above.
    You can try the USB controller firmware update and latest driver available here:

  • Pavilion dv9700 DVD/CD ROM stopped working: Code 10 (This device cannot start.)

    I have a HP Pavilion dv9700 running Windows 7 where the DV)D/CD ROM drive fails to be detected. I can still get it to open and close. The device manager gives an error: Code 10 (This device cannot start). I read somewhere that iTunes upgrades can cause DVD problems in HPs, and I did upgrade iTunes a couple of days ago. I did upgrade the BIOS a few moments ago, but it didn't help. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

    Thank you for the responses! Sorry it took me so long to implement--I wanted to back everything up first before messing with the registry. Following the instructions to delete lines in the registry AND uninstalling iTunes allowed for the DVD/CD ROM to pop up with an exclamation mark in my Device Manager. Updating the driver did not help as the computer said the driver was up-to-date. Mysteriously, when I rebooted, the DVD/CD ROM disappeared from the device manager again. I forgot to mention in the initial post that the DVD/CD ROM light blinks steadily at about two blinks/second. Any other ideas? I am wondering if this is a hardware failure now.

  • "Device Cannot Start - Code 10" - Windows Vista Error, w/ 2nd Gen. Nano

    I'm having trouble with my Nano and Windows Vista. The computer is recognizing the iPod just fine and seeing all of my songs, but nothing will play and the diamond bar does not move. I can't hear previews online either.
    Under device manager, a yellow "!" shows up for the iPod, and it says "Device Cannot Start - Code 10" when I check. All of my drivers and updates are current as of today. So is iTunes. Any thoughts?
    It worked before, but now it's not.

    This is a reasonably common error on a PC when there is a problem with either a USB device, your USB cables or hardware, or the system drivers.
    In a case where, as you say, the device works properly with other computers, the problem is more likely to be with the hardware or drivers on the computer you're trying to connect to.
    See this site for some hints:

    I found it via a web search; I don't have any connection to that site.
    The good news is that your iPhone is probably fine.

  • Game Port Error: This device cannot start. (Code

    I recently did a PC rebuild and have a fresh install of XP SP2. When trying to play with a gamepad that worked just fine before the reinstall of XP, it shows the game port as not working.
    Sure enough, Device Manager shows a problem with the game port.
    I uninstalled the game port and reinstalled it to no avail.
    This is the error the properties of the game port has listed:

  • Intel 82579V network controller "This device cannot start" (code 10) error"

    I've just finished installing a Z77A-GD55 motherboard and had a problem where the Intel 82579V network controller wouldn't start after a cold boot. Device manager would show “This device cannot start" (code 10) error”.
    After a reboot it would work every time. During the time it didn't work the adapter was incorrectly shown in device manager as 82579LM. There's an older thread about this issue but the fix described there were of no help with my problem.
    After a lot of searching I found Intel has provided a fix for people having this issue after sleep mode so I gave it a try and it seems to work for my issue too, so far anyway.
    So if anyone else is having this problem with the same Intel network controller I suggest giving this try.
    Go to the Intel Download Center and search for 82579V. Select the first result entitled "NVM Update Utility for Intel® 82579V Gigabit Ethernet PHY Network Connection" and follow the instructions. Good Luck!

    Thanks for the information. 

  • Sound card problem - This device cannot start. (Code

    hi all,
    here's my situation...
    i had a dell dimension 4400 that came with a sound blaster li've! value(wdm) sound card. i recently got a new motherboard/case etc. i transferred the sound card to my new system and i get a "This device cannot start. (Code 0)" error when i check device manager. for some reason, the game port on the sound card is working fine, but the audio processor part has the error. windows recognizes the card, but it won't use it. the card is a little over 3 years old.
    now, i've read the forums, tried a clean install, registry tweaks, changed bios settings, even did a hd format. i also tried different pci slots. i have sp2 and all my other drivers are updated.
    the new motherboard i have is a gigabyte 8ipe000g. i already contacted gigabyte, did not get much help. it has onboard ac97 audio. i disabled the onboard audio, but it did not seem to change anything. i have also tried windows drivers, the dell drivers from the cd, and the drivers from the creative website. none of them changed anything. i am now having trouble removing the drivers from add/remove programs. i keep removing them, but they still remain, even after using the wdm driver remover from the cd (a file named ctapxx.exe, or something similar). it's almost like windows is not actually installing the drivers when i install them. i'm wondering if the code 0 error is specifically driver related.
    the first time i disabled the onboard audio and updated the drivers a weird thing happened. every time i started the computer up it would crash when it got to the desktop. it no longer does this for some reason, everything now starts up, but i have no audio. the sound card is the only device giving me problems on my system.
    is there anything else i need plugged into the sound card? all i have is the sound card plugged into the pci slot, and an audio cord going from the card to my dvd dri've. is there anything that is supposed to go from the card directly to the motherboard? as far as i can tell, i have everything hooked up correctly. i don't understand why the game port works, but not the audio processor.
    so, i have basically tried everything. seems like quite a few people get code 0 errors with some sort of hardware they have, but it usually seems like there is no definite solution.
    does anyone have a similar problem, or a solution? hopefully i don't have to get a new sound card. i would just stick with my onboard audio, but i hear it can cause problems with games.

    Since you have a new board it maybe a bios setting.
    Is there IRQ conflict from the soundcard.
    Maybe remove the card and unistall the software, use a tool "driver cleaner pro" to remove all creative files.
    Check your mainboard manual on what pci slot that dont share, i hear slot 3 is the one to use, i use slot 5.
    Fit the card and reinstall.
    Best of luck.

  • "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" 6th gen nano ?

    Hello!
    I recently purchased a used ipod nano 6th gen.  It was working great by itself but it won't connect to my laptop.  Here's the short story:
    Ipod worked fine out of the box.  Is not recognized by Windows7.  Installed and reinstalled the driver, no effect.  iPod does not charge from the laptop of from the power outlet.  I have itunes version 11.2.2.3 but the ipod has not been able to connect or be recognized by itunes yet.
    Here's the Long story w/ the details:
    1.  Before I connected it to anything with the cable, I was able to use all of the features and played the radio it worked fine.
    2.  It began to give the low battery warning.
    3.  I plugged it into my laptop with the usb cable for the first time.
    4.  Windows (7) gave the error window pop-up:  "USB Device not Recognized."
    5.  If I click on that error pop-up window the next window says "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"
    6.  If I open Device Manager, it shows one of the USB ports name is "Unknown Device".  If I leave the nano plugged into the USB, the device manger window appears to update every 10s or so and alternates between displaying the port name "Unknown Device"and not displaying the port named "Unknown Device".
    7.  If I click on device properties of the "Unknown Device" USB port from the Device manager screen, I see that the error also alternates between "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" and "Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)"
    8.  When attached to the USB port the nano screen alternates between 3 displays, 1 - "low battery", 2 - the apple logo, 3 - the home menu, which is operational.  The battery meter symbol shows 0 power and does not indicate charging.
    9.  If I unplug the nano it does not turn on with the sleep/wake button, I think due to depleting the battery.
    10.  If I plug the nano into the wall charger, the screen alternates between the home menu which is operational and the apple logo.  The battery symbol shows 0 power and does not indicate charging.
    11.  I followed some troubleshooting steps, on the "Device Properties" window I see the following information:
    Driver Provider: Microsoft; Driver Date: 6/21/2006;  Driver Version: 6.1.7601.18328;
    12.  If I select "Driver Details" button, a window appears that says"No Driver files are required or have been loaded for this device"
    13.  I found trouble shooting steps on the apple website to install the driver, which I followed.  I navigated to the folder with the driver as recommended from the apple website and selected it. C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers  "usbaapl", then selected "Apple iPod USB Driver" from the list to install.
    14.  I get the error window titled "Update Driver Warning" which explains installing the driver is not recommended as Windows cannot verify it is compatible with my hardware, but I proceed with "yes".
    15.  Next window titled "Update Driver Software - Apple Modbile Device USB Driver" shows the error "Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device; Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it; Apple iPod USB Driver; This device cannot start. (Code 10)" and it suggests to download a new driver.
    16.  Next, I uninstalled the driver and followed all of those steps and it indicated success, also chose delete driver software option.
    17.  If I plug in the nano at this point I get the indication windows is trying to install driver software, and then the same error occurs as when I first plugged it in "USB Device not Recognized." and I can go through all of the steps again.
    18.  The Driver details button gives the following info:
    Provider:  Apple, Inc.; File Version: 1,64,0,0; file names usbaapl.sys & usbaaplrc.dll; driver version 6.0.9999.65.
    19.  Now the device manager window alternates between showing and not showing the USB port named "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver".
    20.  If I look under Devices and Printers, it shows a generic icon with the title "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" with a yellow exclamation mark and the status shows "Needs troubleshooting"!
    Can anyone help me I will give you any detail and info you want!
    thanks!
