Newest drivers for my 8600 gives error message on boot up

Question

Following some intermittant and annoying breakdowns in connectivity with my Wanadoo Livebox, I downloaded the latest drivers for my 1350 wireless card and WLAN Utility (new version 3.120.28.0)   Now, when I boot up, I'm given an error message 'notification.dll has not been registered, program will not work'.  As soon as I cancel/acknowledge the message, the WLAN utility loads and works normally.   Any ideas would be very welcome?

Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall the application?

I found following event in log:

The System Event Notification service depends on the following nonexistent service: EventSystem

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

I tried to start the service manually, I got: Could not start System Event Notification service on Local Computer Error 1075: The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion

I have same problem with clean new XP Pro setup. I uninstalled, installed, the problem still persists. What is notification.dll? Should I install some more soft? It is not original Dell setup.

I tried to install .NET Framework 1.1 but the problem still persists. Message Edited by rostro on 08-15-2005 06:09 PM

I just updated my WLAN 1350 from the Dell download area and am getting the same thing - "Notification dll has not been registered, program will not work correctly." What program? My wireless network is working fine! And I'm not running any program.

I think Dell or their supplier may have supplied a faulty update?

I have a 5100 notebook -- just installed the latest Wireless driver, and I get that same error message about not registering the notification.  Does anyone know how to ask someone at Dell what to do?  Has anyone fixed the problem?  I rolled back the driver, and the problem persisted.  Acck.

I talked to Dell and they had me roll back my system to a check point prior to my upgrade. The message continued. So then they had me run a chkdsk/r which did find some errors that were fixed. But now I couldn't boot my system because ntfs.sys was missing or corrupt. :smileymad: So I used the recovery console to copy the file off the CD twice and my system still complained about ntfs.sys. :smileymad::smileymad: Now I wished that I just left the error messages be as at least I had a system that was functioning! Next I reinstalled XP using the repair option. This finally gave me a bootable system. It was a pain as I had to reinstall all the updates to XP - BUT I HAD A WORKING SYSTEM! The messages about wireless configuration are still there, but I don't care. :smileysad:

I´ve got workaround :-))))
If you change anything in Add or Remove Programs / Add/Remove Windows Components, the COM+ system is repaired automatically. I removed Windows Messenger for example. The missing COM+ Event System service is so configured again and the problem disappears.

Sooooooo simple ;-)
Enjoy

I'll try it!  I suspect you are a genius!  :-D

Hi, the answer to this issue is to register an unregistered .dll file, two of them to be precise.  The actual error message doesn't read 'notification.dll', it reads 'notification dll'.  Ideally it would read 'Notification:  dll has not been registered.'   Regardless of the poor punctuation in the error message (on behalf of the programmers, not you), the solution is extremely easy:   Click Start -> Run and type in 'regsvr32 atl.dll' (without the quotes), click OK Click Start -> Run and type in 'regsvr32 wltrynt.dll' (without the quotes), click OK   Enjoy the absence of that very annoying error message!

This did not work for me. Neither di the other suggestion to remove Windows Messenger. Anybody else??

I fixed this by starting (setting to automatic) the two COM+ services (control panel > administrative tools > component services > services).   Cheers.
