    I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 running Vista premium with the new service pack update. I was getting an system error about bcm42rly.sys missing. Downloaded that file and put it in the system32 directory and the error stopped apearing but now I have an Audit
    Failure in the security section. It says.....

    Code integrity determined that the image hash of a file is not valid. The file could be corrupt due to unauthorized modification or the invalid hash could indicate a potential disk device error.

    File Name: \Device\HarddiskVolume3\Windows\System32\drivers\bcm42rly.sys

    The version of this file is 2.31.0.2 and found out that there is a newer version 3.90.19.0 but haven't found qa place to get it yet.
    Anyone have any ideas??

    Nope, but it doesn't look good.

    ur best bet is a repair (if lucky), if not a re-install, SP1 has put in force a measure that will clamp down on any overriding of driver signing or anything that is similar to system file tampering.

    there are tips floating in the net to go around the integrity check, but i personally would not recommend it

    cheers ...

    i m not sure if u can just uninstall SP1. And if u succeed, the integrity check probably left some remnants in the registry somewhere.

    cheers ...

    Perhaps a better solution to the original poster's problem:

    Been getting the same error after installing Vista SP1. After doing some digging, I found that in the registry there are two entries to startup services for the wireless card:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\BCM42RLY
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\BCM43XX

    The second seems to be correct, pointing to a valid driver file. The first is the key causing the issue. If, in the first key, you change the value for the 'Start' key to 4 (disable) rather than its default 3 (start), the error goes away but the wireless card still functions.

    This solution is along the lines of one I was also struggling with - a parallel port error on a machine with no parallel port:
