Start up problem - driver failed

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.hardware,microsoft.public.win2000.setup,uk.comp.os.win2000 (More info?)

Every time my Windows Server 2003 starts I take a popup with the following
error:

Event Type: Information
Event Source: Application Popup
Event Category: None
Event ID: 26
Date: 24/8/2004
Time: 1:24:33 ìì
User: N/A
Computer: SERVER
Description:
Application popup: Service Control Manager : At least one service or driver
failed during system startup. Use Event Viewer to examine the event log for
details.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

Obviously there is a delay of 1 to 2 minutes in the booting process because
after taking this popup message the system processes the items in the
"Startup
menu".

In the event viewer I examine the system and application logs and no other
errors are logged there.
I think it isn't a service because all the services that are about to start
are started!
How can I trace back what driver failed to start ???

Thanks in advance.

Have you looked in Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services for
services that have failed to start?
