Ethernet Controller Registry Corrupt/WinSock Xp Fix Not Working..


Recommended Posts

Hello folks,

This is my first post on this forum.I'm facing a typical problem for which I need your urgent help.

I have XP(SP3) and Win 7 Ultimate Edition.

On XP..everytime I boot ,I get a Destination Host Unreachable error when I ping my DNS Server IP(172.16.0.1)...and as a result I'm not able to access Internet(Page Cannot be Displayed)...I have a DSL Cable 256kbps Unlimited static IP connection.

When I run WinsockxpFix(as suggested by Google),it does what its programmed to do and then it reboots my machine...

I login into XP and then I reconfigure my LAN Settings(put the IP,Subnet Mask,Gateway,DNS,Alternate DNS values) and then Internet works fine..When I ping the DNS (ping -t 172.16.0.1),I get the usual replies....

However,the moment I restart XP,I get the same Destination Host Unreachable error when I ping DNS and I have to repeat the cycle mentioned above to get my Internet connection working...

Here's the results of ipconfig/all:

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>ipconfig/all

Added to this, on Device Manager I find that there are four entries under the Network Adapter Tab and two of them have an Exclamation Mark beside them(my motherboard has two LAN Cards).

When I went to the properties tab it says that the Registry entry for those two particular Ethernet Device may have been corrupted...I tried to uninstall them.But Windows gives a message saying "Failed to uninstall the device.The device may be needed to boot up the computer"..have attached a screenshot.

Is this the reason for the problem stated above??

I'm really getting very frustrated about this as I cant seem to get a solution anywhere.

I really need a working Internet connection on XP as all my major work(photo editing)is done there only (I'm a serious amateur photographer).

Hope I have been able to clearly state my problem.

Please help me out folks.

Thanks in advance

    • WUT?! Tell us you've never built desktop software without telling us you've never built desktop software... The chromium rendering engine is the content-rendering engine for "chromium-based browsers," but that does NOT mean there's a full-on UI underneath that is somehow bloating these products. The bloat is from the additional UI components that the browser vendor (Vivaldi) is adding atop the base package. Most chromium browsers customize the default skin/theme of the overall package so there's absolutely zero added overhead; it's really just a different CSS-based theme pack. Vivaldi, however, adds more than just a different skin; they add built-in extensions (that are managed by other built-in extensions), add other customization modules, and all kinds of other bloat -- and these add-ons are EXACTLY where the resource-hogging stems from. The mere fact it's a chromium-based browser has no impact on the matter. Lastly, power users literally DO notice resource-intensive applications -- they'll even be familiar with tools and widgets that expose those measurements the way only a power-user would! General consumers, however, would simply remark that their rig is sluggish and probably outdated and blindly upgrade to whatever the salespeople are hawking at the local computer store. General consumers wouldn't even upgrade their existing computer cuz they wouldn't know how to!
