Loaded Unbuntu10.04, NIC worked w/o any problems, so it'st definitely a WINS issue.  GOOD GOD ALMIGHTHY.

I will recheck and rescan for viruses; this time with another vendor.  Afterwards, if this doesnt resolve my network adaptor issues, what can I do or go?

I can now remove/uninstall my NIC via REGEDT32 but still cannot install the correct network driver.  The drivers now installed with ERRORS.  After looking around this forum and others, this problem seems quite common for NVIDIA chipsets ... truly agonizing

Im on a simple quest just to get my network card up and running....nothing special here

BTW, my error messages are "..the INF or the device information or element does not match the specified install class"

Yes, I have attempted to remove/install NICS in & out of the "safe mode w and w/o networking" > 20 times.  Too, prior virus scans took care of and removed all instances of viruses found.

Because every variety of network adaptors I subsequently install failed and each failure placed a mismatch registry entry (\PCI|VEN....) with or dicontinuity break between the driver and ...\ENUM keys, I probably need to identify the correct designated OEM.inf setup file (many inf files in  c:\WINDOWS\INF).  But, I don't know which one.  I recall seeing location specified in the registry, but now it is gone.  PLEASE HELP ME I.D. WHICH *.inf file is being requested, perhaps I can edit it

Plus, this entire problem will be resolved (I think hmm) once the issue of uninstalling previous NICs from my system is conquered.

My onboard card (Realtek8211CL-GR PHY using NVIDIA MCP78S) is not properly loaded.  I get a "Failed to uninstall..." message when I attempt to uninstall the device.  When I attempt to reinstall.  I need this fixed before I begin migrating over my old apps to WIN7 (w/ some DOS apps included)

What's more peculiar, attempted to install both a USB and PCI ethernet cards; BOTH FAILED IN SIMILIAR FASHION.  It just wont allow me to install any more network adaptors now:  VERY STRANGE even for WINDOW 2K STANDARDS

Then I performed the microsoft fix support.microsoft.com/kb/306983; STILL UNSUCCESSFUL

I liked what (thread id =2752), but I need a little more guidance and direction, please help me
