unable to load device driver?


Recommended Posts

My comptuer down stairs that obviously runs windows 2000 just all of a sudden started giving me a blue screen of death stating: "Stop: c000026c unable to load Device Driver" and it points me to this system file "intel5.sys".

anyone got any ideas? I first of all have no idea what intel5.sys is, i have googled it and everything.

Help is needed

thank you

intel5.sys seems to be Intel processor driver.

Found this for "STOP c000026c":

When you start your Windows 2000 computer, you receive:

STOP c000026c unable to load device driver \%SystemRoot%\System32\Drivers\xxxxx.sys. Device driver could not be loaded, error status 0xc000012F.

If the driver represented by xxxxx.sys is NOT your boot device driver:

1. Start the computer from the Windows 2000 CD-ROM and press R and C, or select the recovery console from the multi-boot menu.

2. Enter the Administrator password and select the number of the installation you wish to fix.

3. In the Recovery Console command prompt, type: disable xxxxx.sys

4. Type exit and restart your computer.

Or you could use Autoruns to see if disabling it helps:
