yesterday one of my computers suddendly stopped having the ability to surf the web... so i rebooted and still nothing, I checked to see if i could browse the network and there were no computers to be found. I suspected that the ethernet card driver was the culprit so i checked the event viewer and sure enough it showed an error... so i re-installed the driver and everything works. but on boot up i get an error saying a service could not be started, so i checked the event viewer again and it showed this stop message:

The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:
SMPLSCSI

I dont have any SCSI devices on my computer, should i be worried about this error?

my system specs are:

AMD K6-2 400
64 megs ram
WD 3.2 gig
4 meg PCI video
Philips CDD3610 CDR drive
AOPEN case with 235 watts
Gigabyte GA5AX Mobo
Aopen Sound card
Aopen ALN-201 PCI Ethernet Adapter
Win NT 4.0 OS

well if you dont have any scsi devices and there are no problems that you can see then you can disable that from starting.
go to control panel and go into devices.
find SMPLSCSI and change its startup status to disabled. this will stop the error message and that drive will not load anymore. eventually you wil find out waht its used for.
hope this helps
