A Service failed to start

Comment:
I have an error at startup that says a service failed to start. I looked in the event viewer and it had two errors. One says "Detected circular dependencies auto-starting services." and the second says "The following boot-start or system start driver failed to load: ppa3nt." I was wondering if it had anything to do with the Palm Pilot that is installed on the PC. Thanks.

NO, it's not the Pilot, it's a zip drive, ppa3nt is probably the worst piece of programming ever done by Iomega.
Circular dependencies are eg. Service A relies on Service B which in turn rlies on Service C which in turn relies on Service A to start, unfortunately some Banana-Software is programmed that way.
Uninstall the Iomega driver.

Thank you. I saw that the software was already uninstalled, I didn't want to just delete the driver, so I disabled the service instead. Thanks again.
