I would like to know why is my Windows NT 4.0 service pack 5 machine is coming up with an error in the service control manager box "at least one service or driver has failed during system startup use event viewer" when logging on this workstation this message keeps popping up. I did look in the Event Viewer but there is no error messages only information messages which says "VirusScan NT McShield Service Started-scanning for 58398 viruses.
Extra driver name: none
number of virus signatures inextra driver: none
Names of viruses that extra driver can detect none.

It seems to be something with McAfee virus scanner.

Have you checked for boot sector viruses? If you have a bootable Norton Antivirus CD you can scan for this type of virus. Also there are some strings of Red Code that can effect this area.

I did scan the Boot sector and it looks like that was the problem.

thanks
