“MarkFun_Load_NT_Driver” error?

WTF? I came across this error when I had changed my ‘lab’ PC at work to join a domain – I had just built a server (2003) and wanted to make sure domain logins were working properly. The PC had been working OK up to that time.

What I found was the error was probably related some versions of the Gigabyte Easytune utility which conflicts with other software or the user ‘rights’ on your machine.

Why the cryptic wording of the message? Dunno. Sure enough, once i uninstalled Easytune, all was OK.
