RAS Async Adapter problem 1
- Thread starter bronan
- Start date
Here's one discussion about the same item that I found:
Some of that advice may help.
However, if you don't recognize it, and don't know of any software that might be using it, then you may want to at least disable it in device manager for now. Then I'd advise running these apps as well:
CCleaner
Malwarebytes Antimalware
SuperAntispyware
Glary Utilities
Advanced System Care
You can get all those at
Also, if you don't have a 3rd party software firewall, I'd suggest you get one. And if you don't have a router, I'd suggest you get one of those as well - hardware.
It may not be anything of the sort, but it almost sounds suspicious to me, based on what folks were saying in the linked thread.
Any more thoughts on the issue? More details? Let us know what/if anything you try, and then the results.

Can you pick up any relevant driver or service for that device if you look in the Recovery Console via the Listsvc command and use the Disable command to stop any relevant thing loading at boot time?

What is loading as seen from this Registry Key?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services
What does the Registry tell you about the start value for any service?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ THE SERVICE NAME @ Start
For example, 00000002=Automatic, 00000003=Manual, 00000004=Disabled

Did you try this link to decipher what manufacturer and piece of hardware this entry is referring to?

@linney,
Followed Philip Woodring's instructions from A to Z ,but unfortunately didn't work for me.
Deleting RAS Async entries in the Registry had just created a bunch of problems and I was forced to do Recovery of partition "C" after all.
Only one thing was possible - to uninstall RAS Async driver as well the other one #2, but Windows after reboot didn't create the new ones and present problems ( different drivers in connection with RAS in DM were marked with yellow exclamation sign ) and Eset Firewall was excluded.

Sorry that you had to perform a recovery of your C:, I am more regretful that it, the recovery, didn't resolve your problem.
So what is left to do, either disable that hardware, or find suitable drivers for it?
I don't full understand your comment about Eset.

Problematic driver belongs to group of Network drivers in DM
and under properties of RAS Async Adapter is written
"This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)"
MS tutorials regarding this Code 31 are useless and it is impossible to troubleshoot and fix this driver.
Applying Philip Woodring's ,re. Eset Firewall, changes in Registry disabled Eset Firewall.
If I disable this driver nothing changes, if try to Update it, receiving a message that no better driver is available.

I think the message means that Windows, or Windows Update, has no better driver for you, which leaves you the option of checking the manufacturer of the piece of hardware or the OEM.
You would need to locate the VEN and DEV numbers to identify the manufacturer and the device. These are mentioned in the Device Manager via Properties/ Details/ Hardware ID's.
This link will take it from there.

In the Registry adress mentioned in , I have 13 VEN_DEV entries.
I can not define which one of them is in connection with RAS Async Driver.
My Hardware ID's for RAS Async Driver is :
sw\{eeab7790-c514-11d1-b42b-00805fc1270e}

That ID according to the following link belongs to AOpen MX46-533V II RAS Async Adapter and is manufactured by Westell.

Anything here, there is no mention of RAS in the first link?

This is the only thing I can find with a 6.0.5365.8 reference.

Dloaded from VIDEO
LAN
USB
IDE drivers
Now which one of them I should try when updating RAS Async Adapter.
Also from the second link dloaded the driver, but I am completely confused which one to use for RAS update.
Forgot to mention I have dual-boot OS on my PC - Win 98SE and XP Pro,
When 98Se is in operation no any yellow exclamation sign appear in DM- this occur only when XP Pro is active.
Please direct me how to proceed and thanks for your efforts since now.
As I can notice no one of the members of this forum countered similar problem as mine - only you participate in this thread - i am very grateful to you linney .
If we succeed to solve this puzzle will be the firs ones on the net.

Did you get any driver CD when you first purchased this machine? Is the XP CD, if you have one, a Retail version or a Recovery CD from any OEM that might include XP drivers?
If there are no XP drivers on the page that Ben sent you to, you could make a restore point and try going with the Windows 7 driver and see what happens, it is not unusual for other operating systems drivers to work on another operating system.
