Did it automatically install? or just unpack the file into an HP folder somewhere. You may need to find the folder and run the setup.exe program or right click on the .inf program.

Right click on My Computer and select Manage then Device Manager. Click on the + in front of Network Adapters and look at the adapters. I assume one of them says Realtek. Right click on Realtek and select Properties. Does it say it is working properly? Does Device Usage say Use this Device (Enabled) Click on Driver then on Driver Details. What files does it list? Just the names. I don't need the full paths.

Close Device Manager.

Control panel, Network Connections, Under LAN or High-Speed Internet Do you have just the one called Local Area Connection 2? Does it say Connected?

Disconnect the Internet Cable. It should get a red X, does it? Reconnect the cable.

Right click on it and select Properties. What does it say under Connect Using?

Close that page and go back to Network Connections page.

Right click on the Local Area Connection 2 (or the one that says Connected) and Repair. I doubt it will do anything but you never know.

pretty sure it installed, i had to click on agree and then it updated it. the realtek does say this device is working properly and device usage says use this device (enable)

the driver file list only one it is rtnicxp.sys

under lan or high speed internet i have two

local area connection 7 which says connected realtek family fast
and also 1394 connection 2 which says connected 1394 net adapter

when unconnecting the internet cable is got a red x on the local are connection 7 only (the realtek one)

under properties it says connect using realtek

when i right click on this connection the repair was not highlighted as an option so i am rebooting. also when rebooting a file named imapp.exe always refusing to close right away. also my busy yellow light on the pc stays on all the time

ok rebooted and now i can click on repair i box comes up and says windows could not finish repairing the problem because the following action cannot be completed: failed to query TCP/IP settings of the connection. cannot proceed

imapp.exe is IncrediMail. It's probably upset because it can't get on line.

Try disconnecting the internet cable. Then try to reinstall tcpip

[melint]

i disconnected the cable and tried step #81 again, but still cannot download that file still says the same error as in step #82

[RKinner]

See if this does anything different:

Start, Run, cmd, OK

C:\WINDOWS\inf\nettcpip.inf  -c  p  -i  MS_TCPIP

[melint]

i got this pop up text

That wasn't exactly what I was expecting but Oh well.

Let's look at the tcpip service in the registry. Did it really get uninstalled?

Copy the text in the code box by highlighting and Ctrl + c

:files
reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\tcpip /s /c 
reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\dhcp /s /c 
reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ipsec /s /c 
reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\afd /s /c 
reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\netbt /s /c 
reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lmhosts /s /c 
reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\atmarpc /s /c 
reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\winsock /s /c 
reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\winsock2 /s /c 
reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root /s /c   
reg query HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\NETWORKCONNECTIONS /s /c

then run OTL and Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste (ctrl +v) the text. Verify that you got it all and Then click the Run Fix button at the top
Let the program run unhindered, OTL will not reboot the PC when it is done. Save the log and attach it to a reply.

Happy New Year to you too. I think I would settle for a working TCPIP stack right now.

First if you have SuperAntiSpyware or Spybot S&D installed please uninstall them.

Then check that you (Administrators and System both) have Full Control of the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root

If you don't have Full Control then take Ownership as before. (and we do want it to apply to subkeys too)


Let's delete all of the services that the inf file does and see if it will then install.

Copy the next line:

reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dhcp
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\IPsec
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\PolicyAgent
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Atmarpc
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Nla
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\winsock2
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_NETBT
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_IPSEC

Start, Run, cmd, OK then right click and Paste or Edit, Paste and the text should appear. Hit Enter.

Some entries may complain that they can't find the registry key but none should say they can't delete it. If one can't be deleted go into regedit and try to delete it yourself.

Right click "My Network Places" select Properties.
Right click the Local Area Connection 2 and select Properties.
Click Install >Protocol >add >have disk.
Browse to the location of nettcpip.inf . (C:\Windows\Inf)
Select nettcpip.inf then click Open then OK then Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) then OK then Close
Reboot

Did you get the same error?

Ron

PS. I'm going down to San Jose to visit my daughter tomorrow. Don't know if I will have Internet access at night but I will be driving for most of the next two days so responses will be slow.

[melint]

did everything and it went fine until the last click ok and then got the network connections error could not add the requested component. the error is: an extended error has occurred

didn't even get to reboot. hope you have a nice visit, dont worry about answering slow, just have fun. i'll be available for a couple more hours if you get this tonight thanks again

[melint]

have you forgotten about me? or still on holiday? thanks for a reply if you can

[RKinner]

Today is the first day we have had Internet in a while. I plan to get back home late tomorrow.

When you get this extended error does it leave an event in event log?

(Right click on My Computer and select Manage then Event Viewer. Then under System see if you have anything interesting.)

[melint]

i have several things listed, but not sure what would be interesting to you. some have a red X saying error, some have an i saying information, and a few with a yellow triangle saying warning. i tried to highlight these and post them but couldn't also tried to save it as a file and attach it but couldn't but i'm not real sure what i'm doing. please let me know if you would like more info on this. hope you have a safe trip home!

Vista
Is it still running slow?

1. Double-click My Computer, and then right-click the hard disk that you want to check. C:
2. Click Properties, and then click Tools.
3. Under Error-checking, click Check Now. A dialog box that shows the Check disk options is displayed,
4. Check both boxes and then click Start.
You will receive the following message:
The disk check could not be performed because the disk check utility needs exclusive access to some Windows files on the disk. These files can be accessed by restarting Windows. Do you want to schedule the disk check to occur the next time you restart the computer?
Click Yes to schedule the disk check, but don't restart yet.

Right click on (My) Computer and select Manage (Continue) Then the Event Viewer. Next select Windows Logs. Right click on System and Clear Log, Clear. Repeat for Application. Reboot. The disk check will run and will probably take an hour or more to finish.


Start, All Programs, Accessories then right click on Command Prompt and Run as Administrator. Then type (with an Enter after each line).

sfc /scannow

(SPACE after sfc. This will check your critical system files. If it asks for a CD and you don't have one or it doesn't like your CD just tell it to SKIP.)

sigverif

Press Start in the new window. This will check your drivers. If you just get a few when it finishes tell me what they are. If you get a lot just look for those with newish dates (since about the time the problem started.)


1. Please download the Event Viewer Tool by Vino Rosso
