event id 7000

[John B]

I am getting users who's Xp SP1 machines at startup do
not see the network. In the event log I find error 7000.
The pipe state is invalid for just about every service.
Anyone ever encoutered this before. It seems to only
happen on IBM PC's that I took the factory install on and
not ones that I built from scratch.

Call MS there is a Hotfix for this problem refer to KB823830

Guys,

I had a similar problem - Tried the patch without any luck.

After a lot of heart ache I finally tracked down the problem to the Task Scheduler service. After a little more digging it was the NetDetect Task that caused the problem - This task is added to the Start->Control Panel->Scheduled Tasks by enabling Automati
c LiveUpdate in Symantec's Norton System Works. I just deleted the task and now all is back to normal.

After deleting the NetDetect task from the scheduler I went back into Norton and re-enabled the Automatic LiveUpdate which placed the task back into scheduler and so far has had not ill effects. The task must have become corrupt or somthing

Posted because I thought it might be of help to others as I searched the web for days trying to find a solution without nay luck

Thanks Stephen. That helped a lot because I had been having some serious problems with the event id 7000. I think you were right in thinking that the NetDetect Task for Norton was corrupt. Appreciate it.
