Vista - Boot screen problem.?

This appears when booting, it shows in Updates as Optional and successful, yet it doesn't show in installed Updates, so can't delete it,
So how do I get rid if it, it slows down booting .???????????????

Have I beaten everyone.?

26 Viewed so far, no clues.

That looks like a BIOS booting screen...

And it only appeared after a Windows Update?

You could try rolling back the realtek ethernet driver in device manager.


Have you been into the BIOS, changed any start up boot order?

It looks like it's trying to boot of a network address.

If you're not networked, you could always disable the Ethernet ROM in your BIOS or check that it's not the first boot priority.


(It may not be right, but at least it's an answer )

Thanks for the reply, tried rolling back driver, no difference,

Bootup start only from CDROM back to HDD.

Its a thought, I'll try the Ethernet Rom action.!

Is that the network card you use to connect to the Internet? If not you could just try disabling it in BIOS.

Don't use a network card, use a Netgear Router.

As to Ethernet Rom, nothing of that name, only "Onboard Lan Boot Rom."

What would be the result of Disabling that.?

Ideally it would stop the BIOS from attempting to boot from the LAN Rom.

But would the computer still reboot without it ?.

yes it would
