Event Viewer: System: (The following boot-start or system-start driver(s)
failed to load: szkg)
I searched the registry to find out what is this, and notice it is a driver
of some kind.
I opened device manager and went through each and every device to find this
driver but I could not find any device using this driver.
I checked out c:\Windows\system32\drivers and found the file is missing.
I can not locate such a file on the microsoft website to download and it is
not on the original Windows XP installation CD disk nor on the original HP
driver disk.
How can I fix this problem?
Please be so kind as to give me directions.
Thanks and regards
Roelf

Do you have Stopzilla (un)installed?
Bye,

Google is a good resource when investigating what a file might be associated
with.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=szkg.sys
One of the links is:
http://www.file.net/process/szkg.sys.html
If you don't have Stopzilla it could be associated with some malware.
