    Bobbye,

    Is it OK to move this CD Image File to the infected PC using a USB drive and then run it, or does it need to be burned to CD and run from CD?

    Thanks!

    Bobbye,

    i didn't have any CD's, so I went ahead and copied ISO to infected drive and ran. Installation completed and rebooted.

    Network connection is still hung up at acquiring network address.

    I ran FSS and got same output as previously related to LEGACY_afd

    Checking LEGACY_afd: Attention! Unable to open LEGACY_afd\0000 registry key. The key does not exist.

    I found some info online related to this, but don't really understand how to use this info. Thought it might be helpful:

    I have some basics for you> going all the way back to Reply #48:

    Back to Reply #48:
    1. Is this the actual sequence of what you did?
    2. Why did you start the Telephony Service? What Startup Type was it set to before you started it? Do you have it set to Manual (best) or Automatic?
      About Telephony:
      [o]Control telephony devices and IP based voice connections on the local computer and, through the LAN, on servers that are also running the service.
      [o]This service is required for dial-up modem connectivity and to use the Fax service and will be started by default if the Fax service is installed.
      [o]Take note: you may require this service for some direct cable or DSL providers, If Dial-up, cable or DSL internet access no longer functions properly with this service disabled, place it into automatic. If you are connecting via a hardware router or gateway, this service is not needed.
      [o]Default Startup is Manual.
    3. What type of connection do you have? Did the connection break when you started the Telephony Service-or-or did you start it to try to connect?
    4. Did you check the Dependencies? There are 2 and both should be set to Automatic Startup: RPC- Remote Procedure Call and Plug and Play.
    5. Have you spoken to the ISP about this failure to connect?
    6. Why do you go to Network Connections to connect-as opposed to-launching the browser or a URL in the Bookmarks or typing a URL in the Address Bar?

    Edit: What is this? [2011/11/21 13:58:04 | 002,856,448 | ---- | M] (Корпорация Майкрософт) -- C:\Documents and Settings\Rich\My Documents\qkmz.exe?

    Bobbye -

    Don't recalls details of what I did in post 48 - it was so long ago.

    I have a cable modem.

    I vaguely recall checking this and found that AFD was the problem.

    I have not checked with ISP as I am able to connect to network with other computers connected to cable modem. I have eliminated hardware in infected PC as the culprit as I have reinstalled OS on another boot drive and everything is fine.

    I have tried connecting by both using network connection and by starting firefox. Neither is successful.

    I ithink I am ready to through in the towel on this.

    Everytime I review a thread, I go back to the beginning. Did it occur to you to pull up Reply #48 like I did?

    You don't have to throw in the towel, because I am ending my support. I asked questions pertinent to what was done. It took my time to review and then compose the questions. Yes, it was a while ago, but everything typed is still there,
