First they start making kerrrunching noises, then they lock up your OS.
So it's Hi Ho, Hi Ho, off to Internal Systems for a replacement and a rebuild I go....
There are always lots of niggling set up / configuring activities I have to do when I rebuild my laptop (mainly because I insist on running Window 2003 Server) - the first of which is the annoying error message you get on start up:
"The Network Load Balancing service failed to start due to the following error: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it. Network Load Balancing is not installed on the system. You receive this event ID even though the Network Load Balancing service is not installed on the computer."
This can be remedied by following the instructions in the You receive event ID 7000 even though Network Load Balancing is not installed support article.
