Setting the NIC Driver Startup Value to SYSTEM Causes STOP 0X1E

ID: Q172353

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0
Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0

SUMMARY

The startup value for a network adapter in Control Panel Devices should be set to AUTOMATIC. Setting the value to SYSTEM or BOOT may cause the system to trap with a STOP:0x0000001E upon system restart.

Behavior may vary from one network card to another.

MORE INFORMATION

You may use the LastKnownGood configuration to get into the system as this will use the configuration prior to the changed setting, or remove the network card from the system. This will cause the driver to fail to load and once back into the system, use the default startup value as configured with adapter installation.
