hi! i installing a new network card 3C905B-TXNM fast ethernet link XL PCI.my old one is 3C905B-TX fast ethernet link XL PCI. i uninstall the old one by removing the services and TCI/IP on the network properties.when i try to install the new one theres a setup message occur saying "Registry subkey already exists" then when i click ok theres another one appear saying "Unable to remove Name space provider" then i ckick ok ..when i ask if i have a DHCP i choose yes then error message appear "The network failed to start" i cannot install the network card. please help.
I am no Expert. I would first go into control panel/add remove programs/ on the left side are four vertical buttons click on the one that says Windows services or programs or something like that second or third button down from the top you should find a window with networks something or other. I would uncheck that box to clean the network of everything then restart or something then after a successful uninstall I would go back this time and recheck it then reboot to put everything the way its supposed to be in the first place I cant be exact here because network stuff has always given me troubles too...escpecially those ethernet cards. The only protocol I know you absolutely need is TCP/IP possibly Windows related stuff....that says windows whatever. You might loose all contact with the outside world while you try this so you might want to do a lot of reading before you try it. JUst thought I would try to be of help even though I am extremely ignorant here. I have Windows XP PRO FYI and I must have damaged my registry playing around because none of those buttons have any script associated with them but on my sisters machine who also has XP all those buttons say what they are. Maybe you can tell me how to get the script back associated with those ADD/Remove buttons ??? After you get things back to normal you might download and run something called CCLEANER or Crap Cleaner...it is free and not dangerous if you do not mess with the default settings. It is quite good at finding registry entries with unassociated programs and stuff and will back up any registry items ir deletes so you can always go back and click on the reg file to reinstall the deleted items. You might have to run the cleaner two or three times in a row to get everything because one deletion might lead to another problem. Sort of a spider web of intregue this registry thing. Good Luck.

Ever consider the possibility that your problems are caused by these so called "safe" registry cleaners? 9 times out of 10 these cleaners cause more harm than good. Although CCleaner is highly rated and might have certain qualities it is still a tool to use with much care. Repeated scrubbing of the registry, as you described, "You might have to run the cleaner two or three times in a row to get everything..." is a sure fire way to screw up your operating system. It goes like this: The registry cleaner does a sweep and identify a valid key as invalid, you remove the key. On the second sweep the cleaner says "Key XYZ is not present so key 123 must be useless..." so you delete key 123. And the cascade of errors begins, sometimes or most often minor problems but at time complete fiascoes! Quite often when you restart Windows or open a program that needed the deleted keys it will create new keys but it may not have the proper values. The only thing worse than this foolishness of over cleaning with a registry cleaner is using 2 or more cleaners from different vendors, a recipe for complete disaster! These registry cleaner tools have certain uses and can be quite helpful when doing troubleshooting, other than that LEAVE THE REGISTRY ALONE! It needs no cleaning! John
Hello Mr, Kennedy; You might be right but since Microsoft will not make a PROPER registry cleaner and fixerupper I just have to gamble on possibly reinstalling everything. That damn registry keeps all kinds of old information I seek to obliterate. As well as the cache/page files. If praying meant anything at all id just pray for a decent and complete operating system no matter who made it. To be decent it must be also affordable by anyone wanting a computer. I was taught at the university that a technological advancement is no advancement at all if the thing which is advanced becomes more expensive. Everytime you up the price there will be fewer people willing and able to obtain it legally.

Right Click Desktop | Properties | Themes | Select any other theme Low and Behold | Go Tell It On The mountain | Jesus has risen from the dead.... The button names are back again. :-) And it only took me three days of searching. Dont laugh too hard because if you play with windows long and hard enough something like this might also happen to you. I was so afraid my system was damaged that I went and SlipStreamed my install disk with SP2 and made an updated disk to ease the install process if needed. I used nlite to do this and everything went well except the CD I produced does not auto boot. I understand auto boot is a function of the bios so I will have to research making an auto boot CD also. Thanks for all your help yous guys. Regards;
