Want this question answered?
it means that the driver of that device is either not loaded or not properly loaded.. load the driver once again from the driver disk and the sign will go off..
A DOS device driver is a file that any DOS system will load at startup. They perform many functions, such as memory management, hardware, RAM disks, etc. Most device drivers have a .SYS file extension, and are loaded through a file called CONFIG.SYS. In CONFIG.SYS, a line is added reading DEVICE=driver.SYS to have the driver load.
the problemis with a hardware device, a critical driver, or a windows component.
This is done via a technique known as a loadable driver; the actual hardware driver is loaded into the system dynamically. Since devices can be loaded and unloaded they do not have to be compiled into the system kernel.
into memory
You need to look in the device manager. Click start -> control panal -> system -> hardware -> device manager From there you can see which drivers there are errors on and you can reload or remove driver.
There is no specific, fixed, area of memory that a driver is stored in (this is handled by the OS as it is loaded) - However in Windows there is specific location in the file system where the device drivers are placed, this is C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore.
If the application works in Safe Mode, then can assume the problem is not with the application, but with the operating system, device driver, or other applications that load at startup which are conflicting with the application.
