If you have onboard LAN, try disabling it in the bios.
If you have a network card installed, go into safe mode and then remove all your network settings (or at least any that refer to NDIS) in the Network panel.
Reboot into regular Windows (we hope) and then reload your network drivers for the onboard lan.
Or after rebooting , shut down again and enable your onboard lan in the bios once again.
Then when you're in reg Windows reload the driver for the onbaord lan from your mobo cd.

should have read 'your network card.' Instead of onbaord....
Onboard lan in other paragraph.
Sorry 'bout that.
