Wenn Windows nicht startet, das heisst alles Laden kann bis auf die grafische Benutzeroberfläche dann kann es an dieser Datei liegen. Problemlösung: Im Gerätemanger das Gerät "Plug & Play Bios Extension" deaktivieren oder löschen.

This is a file used by Alcohol 120%, to emulate the virtual CD-ROM drive. It allows you to change the number of virtual drives without restarting.

Habe Antivir 7 installiert, Computer brauchte daraufhin ca 15Minuten zum booten. Beim Starten im abgesicherten Modus bot er mir an, vax347b.sys per Esc nicht zu installieren. Probehalber hab ich sie daraufhin deinstalliert. Seitdem bootet er wieder wie immer.

I think it is a file by Alcahol 120%, not needed.

Well I have no clue what it is, however my computer will not boot up. When I try to boot it up in safe mode the file it freezes on is Vax347b.sys. If I cansle the loading of this file I can get into safe mode.
