Error 59

I have been running a wireless pci card for about 6 weeks with no issues on
win 98se.

Suddenly getting the following error message upon boot: The following error
occurred while loading protocol number 1. Error 59: A network error has
occured.

I have made no changes, new downlaods, etc prior to this error occurring.

I tried renaming the cpu. This works, after the initial reboot. However,
if the unit is shutdown or rebooted again, the same error comes up. I
repeated the name change cycle 3 times to be sure.

Thanks,

Danny

Unfortunately, Error 59 is a rather generic error that has no real meaning
and can be difficult to diagnose. If you have made no other changes to the
network (other than the renaming you described) I would start by removing
all mapped drives and printers, rebooting the computer, then re-mapping
them. If that fails or if you have no mapped drives or printers then
consider the possibility of a virus, spyware or adware infestation.

Richard,

Thanks for the help.

Not sure what it all means, but here is what I found so far.

A few more reboots found an error messge indicating that my DLink wireless
pci adaptor was not functioning, error 10. The wireless card has been
functioning well for 45 days. A call to DLink Tech support found that an
error ten means the card is dead, at least according to them. After I
physically removed the card, the error 59 messge was coming up again!. A
look found that the wireless card was still listed under network adaptors,
even though it had been removed. When I removed the reference and rebooted,
all error messages ceased, Two more reboots and no error messages.

We will see wht happens when the new card arrives. I will also see if it is
the pci slot is the issue as the new card should eliminate an issues with the
card vs slot vs ???!

I will wait to go forward with anything else until the nwe card is tested.

Thanks for the help!

Danny

Sounds reasonable - let us know how things work out when you get the new
card in.

Richard,

Did not realize that a month has gone by! Well, the RMA card send by D-Link
was also determined by them to be "bad". Just got the new pci card and now
same problem - no access, different issue!

I am now getting the vfat error message "a device or resource required by
VFAT is not present or is unavailable. VFat cannot continue loading". I
have gone through the MS article Q139063 and none of the issues were present.

Interesting that this time the card will work after the driver load, shut
down cpu, install card & reboot. After this sequence it will ask to reboot
one more time. If I chose no, the card functions. Afterwards any reboot or
shutdown causes the vfat error. Chosing that last reboot option immediately
when it comes up also casues the vfat error.

The error is consistent in different pci slots

If the card is removed the vfat error goes away.

I have cleaned up the registry, reinstallled the intial eg back up prior to
the card driver load and the vfat error still exists, until the card is
removed!

I appreciate the help! I also posted under general has Glen was interested
in the results.
