Hi

I have made several attempts to get help but no joy yet. I have had a
problem that has been raging for weeks. After hours of investigation it
appears that the network side of my Win Home XP SP2 setup may be corrupted
and I need to fix this. I have had trouble whereby everytime I connect or
disconnect my wireless network USB device on my notebook a whole series of
services terminate abnormally, causing havoc else where on my system.
Sometimes it is accopanied by a "Generic Host Win32 Services" error. I have
checked the event log but nothing useful seems to appear related to this.

I can occasionally get the network to function but I cannot access any
properties of the connection as this forces an "unexpected error" and causes
the services to terminate as described above.

I have tried uninstalling my network device and even purging the registry
and then reinstalling, nothing seems to work. Finally I attempted an in situ
reinstall of Windows only to find an error relating to netmap.inf being
incorrect when it tries to do a "Network Component Upgrade" and then setup
cannot continue.

I am really losing it over this PLEASE can someone offer some real help!

Thanks

Anthony
 
Hey anthony, i would have to say that it is most likely drivers causing
this, and also since it is a USB device "simply pulling the plug" is
something i would not recommend, if you can Remove the hardware safely then
do it :) as it can cause errors if you dont, if this is not the case well
then it could be drivers for the device you are using. Another final
solution if you wish is to Rest your TCP/IP stack, which i doubt will do
anything but it looks as if your network configuration needs to be fixed,
the following can be typed into a command prompt window :

netsh int ip reset reset.log

hopefully this should fix it...if it is not your drivers, but make sure you
look for drivers before you go doing this command
