I had a problem with my network adapter that didn't have any services,
protocol, client installed. Whe I ran network wizard, the log showed that
these items failed to install and I got errors whenever I tried to install
them. I decided to uninstall the adapter and reinstall it. After deleting
the adapter from the device driver section, my system is acting up. It takes
forever to respond to instructions and doesn't shut down. I'm thinking about
reinstalling Windows to at least get me back to where I can troubleshoot.
Will that help?

With WinXP, it's probably your only way out.

It's on the motherboard. What if I just bought a new mother board? Will I
have to get a new CPU also?
 
Look in your mb manual and see if you can disable the device in setup/bios.
 
Thanks, I was able to disable it. My system has been crawling since I
uninstalled the driver and the device itself in control panel. I did a
winsock reset but that hasn't helped. I would hate to have to reinstall XP.
Any way to figure out what's causing the problem? (e.g opening the system
folder takes over 5 minutes and when I click on device manager nothing
happens)
 
I was concerned about starting the registry thing because the system hasn't
been responding and I didn't want to get stuck in the middle. I'm wondering
if there is a way to figure out which task(s) might be responsible for the
hang. Next step: registry thing.
 
I'm sorry, I assumed you looked for other problems first. You can open task
manager (control+alt
delete) to see if a process is hanging. You can also try
start/run/eventvwr.msc to see if a system event is the problem.
 
Thanks. I need to know commands like this because the pointer way doesn't
seem to be working. How do I get to the device screen that shows the
hardware on the system? My device manager button doesn't do anything.
 
Thanks I'll check these out.
btw, I tried booting up in safe mode and all I got on the screen was a list
of files, didn't seem to be doing anything.
 
Wait, it can take some time.

I don't see how the disabled nic could be causing this since you have no
mapped drives. Let me take a closer look. Download Hijack this, run it, save
a copy of the log file and cut and paste it back here to this group so that
I can analyze it.

IP-McA,IPX,IPX-McA,L2TP,PPPOE,PPTP,Network Monitor

So can you navigate through windows normally, without any problems in
safemode? If you can start troubleshooting from there through the links that
where provided earlier
