Hi again!!

Thanks for trying to sort out my problem, it was looking good but now all of a sudden i have no internet conection? i even had to go to the extreame of re installing windows xp but no joy! its saying i have no ethernet card now? whats causing this to happen? i had a program called uniblue driver update and after it updated something my pc would not get onto the net? what it done wrong now?

Well I'd say any Virus\Malware is eliminated

My last post to you, said:

That text in blue is actually a clickable link to all your drivers
And one of them being your LAN (ie Network) !

But you should do the 4in1 first
And then the rest of the drivers.

www.softwarepatch.com/windows/windows-xp-sp3-amd-stop-0x0000007E.htmlTry to uninstall SP3 then use this

You mean here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/953356

Error message after you upgrade a computer that uses a processor other than an Intel processor to Windows XP Service Pack 2 or to Windows XP Service Pack 3: "STOP: 0x0000007E"

Same thing. Just found mine at a different source. Does need to be run BEFORE installing SP3.

I shouldn't be replying to you here
But it's not the same thing!

All Microsoft fixes are at Microsoft
All manufacture drivers are at the manufacture website, and so forth...

The link needs should be the manufacture valid link

Shows up on softwarepatch as being from Microsoft. Tells me that you just went and looked at the name of the site and it didn't say Microsoft. BUT it is the very same thing.
So before you get me banned, I'll beat you to it. Just cancel my account.

What are you talking about?!
Obviously you can post support links from anywhere you like (respectful area of course)
It's just preferred to use the actual real manufacturer link
Your post can therefore stay put !

I've respectively removed my word "needs to be"...
