Need help PLEASE. Here is the situation:
My computer came with WIN me. Clean installed W2K 10 months ago.
W2K started to act up recently (unstable).
New clean install W2K failed "Hardware problem, call vender..."
No specifics what H/W ?
Re-installed WIN me fine.
New attempt to clean install W2K failed "Hardware problem call vender..."
Re-installed WIN me fine
Since, WIN me continues to display "Explorer error.... UPNPUI.DLL"
Looked up UPNPUI.DLL, it seems to be the USB Plug n Play driver.
The computer freezes frequently when connected to the internet via cable
modem (USB port). If not connected it does NOT freeze. But System tray
icons tend to disappear one after another until a reboot
a) This can be S/W or H/W
Used TuffTEST diagnostic S/W... All OK
b) Device manager shows all fine
Any recommendation how to investigate/fix ?
Please reply to and the groups (too many) if you like
Thanks in advance

Try disabling your USB ports in the BIOS to see if the issues go away.

I agree disable usb port -- or if you can use rj45 cable instead of usb
cable to connect to the internet-- maybe your problem will go away

Rather than unchecking this entry in MSConfig I would recommend
that you consider uninstalling Universal PnP using Add/Remove Programs |

Done it.
No error for the last 15 minutes (record time).
However this does not explain why W2K clean install does not install due
H/W malfunction !!!
Of course on new clean install this famous U PnP does not enter into play.
Since my last posting the CD burner and the DVD player went off the air
completely undetected.
Several reboots, later unplug and replug the cable seems to bring them
For how long ?
This confirms to me the going theory that the BIOS is corrupted. Wouldn't
you agree ?
TIA

FYI,
The BIOS was corrupted. BIOS update did it.
Happy to be back to W2K.
