Event Viewer: The 3Com dRMON SmartAgent PC Software service failed to start

Everytime my computer boots, I get a warning that something didn't go right, and I should use the Event Viewer to check it out.  I visited the Event Viewer and saw only one thing out of the ordinary:

"The 3Com dRMON SmartAgent PC Software service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the path specified."

This seemed to happen often so I think it is what is the problem.

How do I fix it pls?  I don't know much about computers so please be detailed.


Thank you,

Mark

Hi,

Try ..

In Win NT 4.0 - Go to the Network dialog box, select the "Services" Tab and select "3Com dRMON SmartAgent PC Software"

In Win NT 3.51 - In Network, under, "Installed Network Software", highlight "3Com dRMON SmartAgent PC Software"

Click REMOVE.

Cheers,

Hi there,

Much more elegant than the first suggestion!  I couldn't find the smartagt.exe file, so I went with option #1.


Thank you,

Mark
