BIOS driver
1. I right click on "My Computer"
2. Click on Properties 3. Go to Hardware 4. Click on Device Manager 5. Go down to System Devices 6. There is a yellow exclamation point on "Microsoft System Management BIOS driver. 7. I right click on it 8. Under Device status it says the following: "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) What does this mean and what should I do? I'm not a computer novice nor am I a wizard either - FYI Thanks -- When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you till it seems you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn. |

I'm not a computer novice nor am I a wizard either - FYI Thanks Looking at the properties for this device shows: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\mssmbios.sys You could try to: - Update the driver. - Run "sfc /scannow". - Boot using the Windows XP install CD and use Repair (the 2nd one). -- snip - 19 blank lines!
