I have edited Boot.ini to have the switch /NoSerialMice on both OS lines but this has no effect. I have also noticed that when the card reader is attached to the PC, the COM Port it is attached to no longer shows in the Ports applet. Though this time it says COM Port 1 is in use by something else (it was used by a modem but this was uninstalled before installing the card reader).

and removed the Smart Card base components and the GTwinSnt.sys drivers too.Īnd then reinstalled the Smart Card Base Components, and the GTWinSnt.sys driver. I have removed the GRserial.sys driver from the original PC via the registry so that it doesn't show up in Devices. I now think that the person we had in to install the readers messed it up by installing the wrong driver (GRserial.sys).

I have successfully installed the reader on another NT4 workstation with no errors. He installed the Smart Card Base Components, and then the smart card reader drivers and got to the above errors and left it with me to sort out (nice of him wasn't it!!!).

I came to this particular job late - we had an engineer from Barclays in to install all the necessary hardware, and managed to get the USB smart Card Reader installed and working on an XP PC, but failed to get the Serial Smart Card Reader installed on the NT4 PC for the above reasons. GRserial and GTWinSNT are the actual drivers for the smart card reader and according to Gemplus's website and readme files, should not be installed until the Smart Card Resource Manager Service is up and running. The system cannot find the device specified.ĭescription :- The GTWinSNT service failed to start due to the following error: Verify the connection of your reader.ĭescription :- The GrSerial service failed to start due to the following error: Sorry for the delay, been having to do a different project and this has taken a back seat.ĭescription : - No Gemplus smart card reader has been added to the system.
