    ok so after a fresh reinstall of windows xp i have an error that is telling me that the omci file could not be found. After putting in the event id which is 7000 i get three methods on how to fix it. Im no IT professional so i was just wondering if anybody could help me out.
    My specs are:

    Microsoft Xp
    Media Center Edition
    Version 2002
    Service Pack 2

    Intel Pentium 1.73GHz
    794MHz, 504 MB of Ram


    Also after trying to attempt method 3 from Microsoft's support on event id 7000
    Im Stuck on objectname??

    I get all the way to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ServiceName
    and i have the following......

    Default REG_SZ (value not set)
    DisplayName REG_SZ OMCI
    ErrorControl REG_DWORD 0x00000001 (1)
    ImagePath REG_EXPAND_SZ \??\C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\OMCI.SYS
    Start REG_DWORD 0x00000001 (1)
    Type REG_DWORD 0x00000001 (1)

    help please and thank you, I really think it might be affecting my whole system but again im no IT pro.

    1. go here:
    http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/drivershome/showproductselector

    insert your express service code, which should be right next to your coa sticker, and this will lead to driver downloads that are specific to your pc.

    2. get sp3 from a different working pc and save to a flash drive, carry it to your pc and install, you should not even be on the internet without sp3 and all the updates due to security risks, and windows updates will not work with out sp3.

    3. I notice that you only have 512mb of ram, and if you have a lot of programs, then they will be fighting each other for memory.

    4. Omci.sys is a component of Dell's OpenManage Client Instrumentation software application.

    5. http://en.community.dell.com/techce...3.openmanage-client-instrumentation-omci.aspx
    read this if you are using this program if not then you should uninstall this program which uses omci.sys

    6. do a search of your installation cds for omci.sys, ensure that you are looking for hidden folders and files, and copy the omci.sys to C:/windows/system and /system32 and /system32/drivers.

    7. one reason for slow internet is the 512mb, and another is the fact that you might not have all the drivers you need, there is a certain order to install Dell drivers:

    ORDER FOR DELL INSTALL DRIVERS

    Desktop System Software or Notebook System Software
    Chipset or SMBus driver
    Processor Driver (if applicable)
    Video
    Audio (sound)
    Input Drivers (keyboard/mouse)
    Modem
    Network Card
    ===============================

    post back after looking at dells website and searching your cds, and seeing if services has any listing for the program I stated above.

    to get to services, go to start, control panel, administrative tools, services, once there scroll down the list, these are the service names.
