Major issue after registry corruption

Beartooth12 · Apr 26, 2014

Hello I have a 2013 Gateway Acer PC with Windows 8 on it. A while back I had an issue where an update corrupted my registry when I accidentally powered off during the update. I did a reset and everything seemed fine. Now when I just tried to switch from Wi-Fi to Ethernet (my wi-fi does not have enough bandwidth) it says "Invalid Ip Configuration". After doing almost every driver reset and ip config trick in the book someone told me to run sfc /scannow. It said that there were multiple corrupt files that it could not fix. So I bought the recovery disks from gateway to completely reinstall my OS and after completing that my problem, and my corrupt files, persisted. Please help I have no idea what is going on and I have never seen anyone with a similar situation.

*P.S. I probably will not be able to download or upload anything from that computer because it cannot connect.

Hi

Difficult one to fix but try http://www2.majorgeeks.com/Tweaking.com_-_Repair_Winsock_&_DNS_Cache_d7250.html this free app and see if it fixes your internet connection.

If you used a restore disk and gained factory settings and same exists then possible your wireless hardware is at fault, if you can try Ethernet that would be good to test or someone else's wifi to test that.
