Fix Event 7000 – driver service failed

Introduction:
when I was surfing my site, one of my script has warned me about critical errors! This issue occurred eight times. So, I took out my log and look for this suspicious ID tag.

Event Type: Error
Event ID: 7000
Description: The PLCMPR5 NDIS Protocol Driver service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified. This problems may also be generated by Homeplug networking device software.

1.] Download this file and drop everything into your “system32″ directory. But, don’t put these files into your ‘system’ directory and don’t forget to extract this file: “PLCLIB.dll”. Without it, your browser may kill itself.

Advice: if your computer is asking for one of these files: PLCMPR4.SYS, PLCMPR5.SYS, PLCNDIS4.SYS or PLCNDIS5.SYS, then you’ll need to extract it and place them inside your “System32″ directory.

File destination: %systemroot%\system32\*place your ‘Sys’ files here.

2.] Go into your registry – library and look for these directory.
After that, just look for this registry value: ImagePath (REG_EXPAND_SZ).

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\PLCMPR5
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet003\Services\PLCMPR5
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet005\Services\PLCMPR5


- Change all “ImagePath” directory with: %systemroot%\system32\file-destination

Notes: you’ll need to replace with your chosen driver – file. But, please be aware that each system driver file requires a reboot.

3.] Exit your registry library and right click on “My Computer >> Manage >> Services and Applications >> Services.

4.] Now, look for this services and change the settings to “Automatic”. But, don’t change it to “Manual”.

Windows User Mode Driver Framework – Automatic
Wired AutoConfig – Automatic


4.] Finally, just exit the dialogue box and reboot your computer.

5.] You are done!
