Hello,

since 2 weeks, when I have to install new hardware or new network
protocole Windows XP don't knows were to search the .inf file.

In the case of new hardware I can easily give XP the path. But in the
case of network configuration to add protocle, client, service XP
returns an error and XP don't ask to give a path.

thx.
 
Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

Look in the right pane for DevicePath. It should read "%SystemRoot%\inf", without the quotes. If not, double click it and edit it appropriately.

I try that solution. It resolves the first probleme. New Hardware
installation works fine now. But i'm unable to instal a new protocole :(
I have try to reinstall the network card, but didn't works.

Any other idea ?
