Windows IP Configuration Problem with Windows XP Professional

<< < (4/5) > >>

First of all want to say thank you for the files that you sent in zip to download. I put two files on desktop not overwrite at all in system32 in Windows folder. Unfortnately your custom ipconfig did not show any information in TCP/IP Configuration.  Guess that I will have to wipe everything in the hard drive and replace with Linux Operating System. Or have to get a bigger hard drive to make room for Windows 7 to install. Mine is only 80 GB and that's not enough to upgrade to Windows 7. Anyway thanks for your help with this and see no further point trying to repair ipconfig.exe but wireless connection is working with no problem. Also notice that the Windows Firewall is not working as well. I will not wipe out the hard drive till you might have something else to make the ipconfig.exe working again.

Then the problem isnt the ipconfig. ipconfig simply isnt able to pull the information from the system.

My program I gave you uses the API GetAdaptersInfo to pull the information. So if the API is returning nothing then something is messed up in the system. Personally I wouldnt mind taking a look at it for you, because if I can find the problem I could perhaps add it to my repairs :-)

As for Windows 7, a fresh install of 7 with all updates takes about 10 to 15 GB of space. So 80Gb would handle it fine, unless you have a ton of other stuff and dont have the room :-)

Shane,

You are welcome trying to help me to get my desktop to work again. Now we know that the ipconfig.exe are working and something else messed up my desktop after I uninstalled Comodo Firewall. That would be great for you so you will know what is the actual problem and put on your list for future reference?

Shane:
Cool I wouldn't mind looking at it. Just have to find the time this week.

It is very possible the firewall software didn't completely uninstall, happens with a lot of firewall software.

I did find a removal tool on their forums
https://forums.comodo.com/install-setup-configuration-help-cis/uninstaller-tool-for-comodo-products-t71897.0.html

The trick would be to make sure all traces of the firewall are removed.

Thank you for the link from your last message and did not show me any of firewall software of Comodo at all. Now I know that it is more possibility with IObit Uninstaller which I deleted the registry keys under Power Uninstall after uninstalled Comodo Firewall. That's my fault to remove the registry because more likely there are some Microsoft registry in it with firewall. I learned a hard lesson not to touch the registry in the desktop. OK I do have the CD Disk of Microsoft Windows XP Professional for refurbished computer and Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP-2. I am not sure if the first CD Disk with Microsoft Windows XP Professional have SP-1 or not. Will that fix the registry in my desktop for firewall or Internet too from CD Disk or should I take the desktop to the computer repair store. If yes with CD Disk and tell me what to do in steps to repair the computer.

Thank you,

John
