    Win 7 sp1
    When checking event viewer, the only error that shows up is as follows 3 times in a row. This happens on all system starts.
    Error skipping EAP method DLL path name validation failed
    Error: typId=43, authorId=9 vendorId=0, vendor type=0
    next error same except for error typId=25
    next error same except for error typId=17
    Other than checking event viewer, I notice no problem with running windows.

    2nd question
    As my other post that was solved(missing bootmgr) after running system restore auto fix, I now boot normally. Funny thing is when starting, the old Win Vista starting line (the one that moves from left to right) shows up instead of the win 7 showing. It still boots to win 7 and runs fine. I had checked what system I made System Restore Disk on, just in case I had made it on old computer. It was made on win 7. Never had Vista on this computer.
    Not real important cause system runs fine, but curious as to why this happened.

      Do you use wireless networking? The EAP error indicates a registry or missing/corrupt file issue that usually manifests itself in a problem with wireless networking. It may be a simple matter of re-registering a DLL or finding/replacing a missing/corrupt file (hence the ‘DLL path name validation failed’).

      Are you comfortable with using the Registry Editor? If so, do this:

      1. Click Start then, in the Search programs and files dialog, type regedit.
      2. When regedit appears in the search list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator from the context menu.
      3. Click on the Yes button then, when regedit opens, navigate in the left-hand pane to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetservicesRasManPPPEAP.
      When you select the EAP key in the left-hand pane, you should see in the right-hand pane a Path key with a Data value of %SystemRoot%System32rasppp.dll. (Let me know if you don’t.)
      4. Right-click on the EAP key itself and choose Export.
      36317-eap
      5. In the Export registry file dialog that appears, save the file as EAP.reg to your desktop.
      6. Close the Registry editor.
      7. On your desktop, open the EAP.reg file in Notepad.
      8. Use Edit > Select all (or CTRL+A) then Edit > Copy (or CTRL+C) to select the contents of the file and copy it to the Windows clipboard.
      9. Paste (CTRL+V) the contents into a reply here.

      This will show what DLL’s are being referenced within the EAP sub-keys. (It’s not ideal ‘cos the Path properties in the sub-keys are exported as hex instead of plain text but it beats asking for screenshots of each sub-key under EAP.)

      Hope this helps…

        Notice the same space in your presumed copy/paste from Regedit, Rick; the space looks odd but is commonly seen and, I believe, ‘normal’.

        … navigate in the left-hand pane to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetservic esRasManPPPEAP.

      Hi John,

      Wow… are you sure this pasted properly? The reason I ask is because there’s multiple problems which I’ve highlighted below:

      You can probably see the problem with the spaces in the filepath and DLL names but may not be aware that you can’t have spaces in hex data.

      Using the Registry editor you need to get rid of any spaces in the file paths and DLL names. Alternatively, let me know and I can post a repaired reg file which you can just import into the registry.

        I see what you mean. I couldn’t tell, cause I haven’t had any experience with the Registry.

        Okay hold on, I checked the file again, and don’t know what happened.

        Every time I save the post, it creates the space’s. The original file has no space’s. All the lines are together, the services and the hex numbers.
        I’ve tried 2 different browsers. I tried with notepad and my editor program.

        I have uploaded reg file as an attachment.

    • #1440744

      Hi John,

      Thanks for the attachment. Its structure and content is identical to that of my own so it’s not corruption of the EAP registry keys under PPP. Now we need to check the registry for the EAP service itself.

      In the Registry editor, can you please navigate in the left-hand pane to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetservicesEapHost. Same as before, please right-click on the EapHost key and export it to the desktop at EapHost.reg then attach it to a reply.

      If this checks out too then we’ll have to look at missing/corrupt files themselves.

      (Satrow – I see what you mean about the space. I haven’t seen this before. Is this a vBulletin issue?)

      • #1440752

        Satrow – I see what you mean about the space. I haven’t seen this before. Is this a vBulletin issue?

        Certainly looks like a vBulletin issue, Rick, it just worked fine on a phpBB forum for me, spaced out here on vB.

    • #1440750

      Attached is the file you requested

    • #1440814

      Hi John,

      I’ve been using UltraCompare to compare your registry exports against exports from 2 Win 7 systems I have available. The compare of the EAP key was identical.

      Unfortunately, a compare of your EapHost key shows that it is wildly different from my 2 systems. At first I thought ‘Eureka’! Then I noticed that it looks like you are running a 64-bit version of Win 7. If so then I’m a little bit stuck. I would need a second EapHost.reg export from another 64-bit system… and I only have 32-bit systems available.

      Anyone out there with a Win 7 64-bit system that could post an EapHost key export for comparison?

      If not then we’ll just have to do a check for missing DLL’s. 🙁

        My 64 bit Win 7 has a single entry in EAP.
        Path REG_EXPAND_SZ %SystemRoot%System32rasppp.dll

    • #1440836

      Whilst we wait to see if anyone can post an EapHost key export from a Win 7 64-bit system, here’s the list of system DLL’s you need to check aren’t missing:

      C:WindowsSystem32eapsvc.dll
      C:WindowsSystem32WcnEapPeerProxy.dll
      C:WindowsSystem32rastls.dll
      C:WindowsSystem32raschap.dll

      It looks like you’re using an Intel WiFi adapter (please confirm). Please check none of the following are missing (as they are all mentioned in your EapHost export):
      C:Program FilesIntelWiFibineapui.dll
      C:Program FilesIntelWiFibineh_eap_sim.dll
      C:Program FilesIntelWiFibineh_eap_ttls.dll
      C:Program FilesIntelWiFibineh_eap_aka.dll

      You also appear to have something like Cisco Connect or Cisco VPN Client installed (please confirm). Please check none of the following are missing (as they are all mentioned in your EapHost export):
      C:Program Files (x86)CiscoCisco LEAP ModuleCiscoEapLeap.dll
      C:Program Files (x86)CiscoCisco PEAP ModuleCiscoEapPeap.dll
      C:Program Files (x86)CiscoCisco EAP-FAST ModuleCiscoEapFast.dll

      Note that if you no longer have the Cisco product installed then enumeration of these residual registry entries pointing at non-existent files may be the reason for the errors logged in Event Viewer.

      • #1440852

        I will check for the DLLs
        As far as c:program files (x86)Cisco anything, doesn’t exist. Don’t remember even installing anything like it. I’ll also check to see if Cisco dlls are on system.

    • #1440892

      Checked and have all DLL’s. Do not have any Cisco DLL’s files anywhere on system.

      I remember this happening (below) after I had run bat file to repair WMI files. This was per http://www.sevenforum. It fixed WMI problem, this problem started because I couldn’t run system restore successfully. Here is the bat file I ran
      @echo on
      cd /d c:temp
      if not exist %windir%system32wbem goto TryInstall
      cd /d %windir%system32wbem
      net stop winmgmt
      winmgmt /kill
      if exist Rep_bak rd Rep_bak /s /q
      rename Repository Rep_bak
      for %%i in (*.dll) do RegSvr32 -s %%i
      for %%i in (*.exe) do call :FixSrv %%i
      for %%i in (*.mof,*.mfl) do Mofcomp %%i
      net start winmgmt
      goto End

      :FixSrv
      if /I (%1) == (wbemcntl.exe) goto SkipSrv
      if /I (%1) == (wbemtest.exe) goto SkipSrv
      if /I (%1) == (mofcomp.exe) goto SkipSrv
      %1 /RegServer

      :SkipSrv
      goto End

      :TryInstall
      if not exist wmicore.exe goto End
      wmicore /s
      net start winmgmt
      :End

      but now I have a lot of files dated 1999 in the system32services dir.
      Don’t know if this has anything to do with EAP problem. But I know this is a problem loading all DLL’s. Don’t know how to fix that either.

      • #1440924

        Do not have any Cisco DLL’s files anywhere on system.
        … I guess this is a bigger problem than I thought.

        Ummm… well, you definitely have references to Cisco DLL’s so if they don’t exist then I’m going to guess that this is the cause of the EAP errors in Event Viewer. Normally I would advise exporting the main EAP and EapHost keys (so there’s a way back, just in case) then deleting these 2 keys completely then importing fresh keys from another Win 7 64-bit system. But, as I’ve mentioned, I don’t have a Win 7 64-bit system to compare.

        riffraff has been kind enough to post that the registry entry for EAP on his Win 7 64-bit system shows a reference to a single DLL, i.e. C:WindowsSystem32rasppp.dll. Unfortunately this shows quite clearly that the DLL’s used for EAP are different between 64-bit and 32-bit versions of Windows.

        Please confirm what version of Win 7 x64 you are running. Windows Home Premium?

        • #1440928

          @ riffraff – Oops… could you please also confirm whether you are using a device that has wireless networking available natively, e.g. a laptop or whether you are using a desktop with a wireless adapter. Sorry but I’m trying to establish that we are comparing ‘like for like’ systems.

          Regards…

      @ riffraff – Could you please let us know what version of Win 7 x64 you are running. Windows 7 Home Premium? Many thanks.

    • #1440935

      Yes I am running Win 7 sp1 x64 Home Premium on a Dell Insprion N7110 laptop. Iam hooked up wireless to a Netgear router. Intel wireless N 1030

    • #1440981

      Hi John,

      OK, I now have a Win 7 SP1 x64 Home Premium VM running (and have made a mental note to ask whether x32 or x64 in future).

      As riffraff mentioned, there should be a file called rasppp.dll in C:WindowsSystem32 (please confirm).

      I’ve also compared your EAP and EapHost registry keys (and sub-keys) against the same reg keys in my Win 7 SP1 x64 Home Premium VM.

      The EAP keys are identical:
      36331-same
      (Click on picture to enlarge)

      However, once again, your EapHost key (and sub-keys) are wildly different:
      36332-different
      (Click on picture to enlarge)

      There appear to be 3 options:

      1. You accept that Event Viewer will continue to show these ‘Missing DLL’ errors for EAP. This is the easy way out but could (will probably) affect your laptop’s ability to connect via wireless using different security and access control methods (WEP, WPA, WPA2).

      2. You manually remove (i.e. delete) the current EapHost key (and sub-keys) after ensuring you have an exported backup of it and then merge a replacement EapHost registry key which I will post. (If this doesn’t fix your EAP issues in Event Viewer then you can just delete the replacement key and merge the exported backup to get back to where you are currently.)

      3. You accept that there may be other issues with your Win 7 64-bit build and go through the whole wipe/rebuild route. This is often the best way but I accept that there may be overwhelming reasons why this may not be your best option.

      Which would you prefer?

      I’ll try with the EapHost you will post. I’ll export current key to desktop. Would a system restore point do the same thing?
      Is is possible with the new EapHost that I’ll merge, I could lose internet? I know if that happens I would delete and merge original, just wondering?

      Hi John,

      You can try System Restore now and export the (restored) EapHost key for me to compare if you would like.

      If you decide to just go ahead, please do the following:

      1. Right-click on the attached EapHost import.txt file and save it as EapHost import.reg.
      2. As before, run regedit as administrator.
      3. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetservicesEapHost. (Ignore the space in ‘services’… it appears to be a vBulletin bug.)
      4. Right-click on the EapHost key and choose Delete. Confirm the deletion by clicking on the Yes button. Note that it’s very likely that you will see an Error Deleting Key dialog. This is normal. It’s because the authentication protocol is in use by the system itself. Just click on the OK button to dismiss the dialog.
      5. You may find that a Parameters key remains in the left-hand pane underneath EapHost (and sub-keys in the right-hand pane). Right-click on the Parameters key and choose Delete. Confirm the deletion by clicking on the Yes button. Note that it’s very likely that you will see an Error Deleting Key dialog again. Just click on OK and the sub-keys in the right-hand pane should disappear. (Don’t worry if you DON’T see a Parameters key under EapHost. Your registry is damaged and it’s difficult to guess what you may be seeing without asking you to take a screenshot at each stage.) At this point you should find that the system has automatically replaced sub-keys in the right-hand pane. You can test this by clicking on EapHost and Parameters in the left-hand pane.
      6. Click on File then Import… in the menu bar.
      7. Import the EapHost import.reg file you saved in step 1. You will more than likely get an error. This is normal because the EapHost key is in use by the system. Just click on the OK button to dismiss the dialog. You will see that a new Methods key and sub-keys have been added in the left-hand pane.
      8. Close the registry editor and re-boot.

      Let me know whether the EAP error messages in Event Viewer still appear.

      It’s nearly 10.30 am here. I have to get ready to go out and won’t be back until late afternoon/early evening. I thought I would let you know beforehand so you didn’t think I’d done a runner. 🙂

      I forgot to ask… did you confirm there’s a file called rasppp.dll in C:WindowsSystem32?

    • #1440994

      yes, file in system32 dir

    • #1441012

      Update
      Replaced EapHost with one you posted. Rebooted- no EapHost errors, But new warning Event Viewer Application-see attached
      and Error in System-see attached

    • #1441034

      Hi John,

      The error shown in ApplicationWarning.txt is to be expected… except for one thing, which I’ll come on to.

      You’ve updated a registry key (EapHost) and its sub-keys which are in constant active use by the system’s local account. The error is thus ‘normal’… unless it persists with subsequent reboots.

      However, what isn’t so normal is the mention of “DeviceHarddiskVolume3WindowsSystem32rundll32.exe”. Do you have multiple hard disks/partitions? Please confirm.

      As for ErrorSystemEventId7026.txt, this appears to relate to a Paragon Drive Backup system driver. Do you/did you have any ‘Paragon’ software installed? Please confirm.

    • #1441040

      I have one internal hard-drive, an external Toshiba hard-drive. I don’t no why external is partitioned. I did have system save an image-file to it. Did my system automatically do this to the external hard-drive? Attached is a picture of laptop disk & the Toshiba external. I don’t know why it thinks I have a 3rd harddrive.
      Unless the new EapHost key says so. You got me.

      At one time I had installed a backup program that was related to Parogon or what ever you call it. I had to remove the Umi_* files from registry. Thought that would clear it up. I will check Device Manager to see if something was installed without me knowing. Picture of Device Manager also attached.
      Searched registry and found the UMI type files.
      I hope this is not to much

    • #1441054

      Hi John,

      The screenshot you have shown is of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet002, not HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSet, i.e. it’s a copy of a previous configuration.

      The ControlSet001 and ControlSet002 keys/sub-keys are alternating backups of CurrentControlSet and used for whenever you use the F8 key during system boot and choose the Load Last Known Good Configuration boot option.

      (As a result, don’t try to delete either ControlSet001 or ControlSet002. If you do, your PC will barf on next boot and go automatically into Startup Repair and offer to use System Restore to get back to a stable boot configuration with backup.)

      In my opinion you should only concern yourself about what hardware is enumerated in your current configuration.

      Hope this helps…

    • #1441070

      okay, I understand about following current setup.

      What was your thought about multiple partitions? You know (what isn’t so normal is the mention of “DeviceHarddiskVolume3WindowsSystem32rundll32.exe”.) in EapHost.

      • #1441072

        I forgot to add… unless there’s any specific errors related to your external USB3 Toshiba drive then I wouldn’t worry…

    • #1441071

      Hi John,

      It’s just me but I think it’s probably best to concentrate first on any Event Viewer errors based on ‘permanently connected’ devices rather than any errors based on ‘temporarily connected’ devices, e.g. portable devices connected via USB. You know… get the basics sorted first…

    • #1441074

      ok, anything else you want me to report?

    • #1441077

      Hi John,

      It looks like the EAP errors shown in Event Viewer are now resolved… so I’m pleased for you.

      Editing the registry is something that many people balk at… but you did really well.

      Best wishes.

      Rick
