xp, no active network adaptors found?

good afternoon,

something strange has happened to my daughter's xp over night, basically I can not access the networks, internet, and so on. here is what I have found so far:

1- task manager, networking tab error message reads:
"NO NETWORK ADAPTER IS AVAILABLE"

2- I tried using control panel admin services to turn on plug&play, telephony, network access, and network manager. MS error are 711 or 1068:
by right clicking on the service / properties I get no response.

3- control panel, internet options , lan settings does not provide any options.

4- control panel networking wizard is non-responsive...

any ideas?

regards

Good day,

I backed up all personal data using Ubuntu on my network drive today. Finally I was able to play around without fear. Using Non-Destructive System Restore I was able to recreate system that would see the network and function properly.

Thanks for your follow up, help, and advise.

This issue is now closed.

Yehh..., Could not have done it without UBUNTU and TRINITY (both Linux operating systems).
