I get the above errors each time I boot the PC (NT 4.0/SP6). The errors both say: A Device attached to the system is not functioning.
How do I track down what it's complaining about?

The error message should give you more info than you are mentioning. A possible cause is that the server service is failing to start, which in turn is causing the browser service to fail. This can be caused by not having network comms when the workstation is started....

I absolutely agree - it should give me more info, but that's all. I am on a standalone PC; should the server service start at all?

Go to device manager or control panel and remove your network card from the software. That should resolve these error messages. You are getting them because you are not on a network (stand-alone computer) and the computer is looking for a network.

dont listen to those yahoos just change the name of your machine on the network and restart the error will go away error 7023 is a duplicate name exists on the network error and the service didnt start error 7001 is the browser service not starting and thats because it is dependant on the other service starting if you have any more questions email me

These error messages can occur if the Server and Computer Browser services have been set to Automatic Startup on a stand-alone computer that is not connected to a network or does not have a network adapter installed. change the Server and Computer Browser services to Manual Startup under services im a yahoo too I didnt notice the reply that it was a stand alone machine. you dont want those services starting automaticly if it is stand alone

Thanks to all who wrote. The problem was the service starting automatically. Problem fixed.
