If you receive at least one service or driver attached to the system is not functioning or similar message and/or the System Event Log contains:
Event ID: 7023 Source: Service Control Manager Type: Error Description: The Server service terminated with the following error: A device attached to the system is not functioning. Event ID: 7001 Source: Service Control Manager Type: Error Description: The Computer browser service depends on the server service which failed to start because of the following error: A device attached to the system is not functioning.
you may have your Computer Browser and Server services set to Automatic.
On a stand-alone workstation, with no NIC (or not connected to the network), these services should be set to Manual.
Use Control Panel / Services / Computer Browser / Startup and Control Panel / Services / Server / Startup to set the Startup Type to Manual.
If your workstation is not stand-alone, see tip 0511.
