Im trying to fix my limited or no connectivity issue on my pc using the method found on http://www.ehow.com/how_2289567_fix... tried this but i get the following error when double clicking the fixreg file "Cannot import C:\Documents and settings\HP_Owner\FixReg.reg: The specified file is not a registry script. You can only import binary registry files from within the registry editor." any help would be greatly appreciated.

did you lose connectivity after removing viruses etc? If so, you may want to try winsockfix: http://winsockfix.en.softonic.com/ or even run LSPfix: http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm Some HELP in posting on Computing.net plus free progs and instructions Cheers

i did lose it after virus removal i ended up having to to a system recovery thanx for the help but im still waiting for a dl link for winsock and lsp didnt find any problems

found and ran winsock thanks to google still having the connectivity issue and cant put fixreg into my registry

I take it this registry fix file is a text file. Just double click on the file from within Windows Explorer and it should get imported into the registry without going anywhere near the registry editor. Stuart

The code given is missing the header line Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 - insert as the first line, and there is an * at the end of the second line shown - it should be "AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule"=dword:00000002 Sloppy presentation at best, frustrating at worst. The resulting file should work - I've tested it. Update: I've looked at several articles on that site - this one should entertain those who know a little about registry recovery in an NT-based OS like XP- How to Repair Lost Registry Files With a Windows XP CD

thank you the file finally went into the registry but this didnt resolve my connectivity issue any advice what to try next?
