Download the attached file. Save it then move it to the sick PC and right click and Extract all. Right click on the ndiswan.reg file and MERGE. Does that work?

also i have two network connections,

local area connection 7 (not 2)
realtek family fast ethernet

and

1392 connection 2
1394 net adapter

both say connected

i tried "repair this connection on local but it says failed to query tcp/ip setting of the connection. cannot proceed.

should i delete this connection and create a new connection? would that help at all?

It might. No telling since nothing else is working like it should.

Any chance you could find an XP SP3 CD so we could do a repair install?

[melint]

I'm not sure. Where could i find this? And would it delete everything on my pc?

Though I had replied to this. Sorry.

Either you have one or you borrow one from a friend. A repair install does not delete your data but it may mess up some installed programs. Doesn't sound like that is going to be an option.

Download and Save the attached file. Right click on it and Extract All. For each .reg file, right click on it and Merge.

This replaces most of the services used by tcpip. Unfortunately replacing the tcpip service is a bit harder since each is customized to your hardware. Let's look and see if you have anything in tcpip now.

Start, Run, cmd, OK then type:

reg  export  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Tcpip  "%userprofile%\Desktop\tcpip.txt"

This should create a file on your desktop. Please attach it to your next post.

each merge said it was successful

also the only cds i found were windows xp home edition system recovery discs 1-7

and application and driver recovery dvd for hp

Attached is a file newtcp.zip. Download, Save it and then right click on it and Extract All. Transfer the newtcp.inf file to the sick PC then right click on it and Install. Do you get the same error or a different one or does it actually install without error?

IF it appears to do anything then:

Start, Run, cmd, OK then type:

reg  export  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Tcpip  "%userprofile%\Desktop\newtcpip.txt"

This should create a file on your desktop. Please attach it to your next post.

here is the txt it saved to my desktop

Did you get any errors when you Install'd the .inf file?

I think the next thing to try is to export the tcpip from my old XP PC and merge them with yours then try and modify them to make them work. Going to have to wait until tomorrow tho.

[melint]

nope no error messages seemed to work fine

Have you tried a System Restore to the oldest restore point?

wow all of a sudden my pc hard drive is full pc says it can't operate because it is too full. all these years i have never even gotten to half of the blue circle. not sure what is going on. i deleted as much as i could old files and things i downloaded from you, but still not much space. can't restore to an earlier date till i have more space....any suggestions as to what is going on???

[RKinner]

I've seen malware that will do that. Do a search for files with the date it happened, include system and hidden files. They will probably all have the same time within about 5 minutes. Delete them all.
