Comment: in my device manager under network adapters, it's showing a 3com card is installed which the machine does not have and when i try to uninstall it it says "failed to uninstall. device may be required to boot." also listed is: admtek an983 10/100 pci adapter direct parallel linksys etherfast usb 10/100 ethernet adpater - packt scheduler miniport (twice) packet scheduler miniport #4 packet scheduler miniport #5 wan miniport (ip) wan miniport (ip) - packet scheduler miniport wan miniport (l2tp) wan miniport (pppoe) wan miniport (pptp) none of which will uninstall as well and get the same message as above. can't connect to the internet and i think it has something to do with these items. running windows xp trying to upgrade to sp2 once i get internet access. can someone shed some lite on this pls.? thanks. eric

Reply: (edit)I noticed your 128 Ram is the minimum for XP, you may want to upgrade if you want SP2 to run properly. Ram is quite inexpensive anymore. Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks
