Not really.
That must be the date when Erunt created 1st restore point.

Go Start and in "Start search" type in:
regedit
Press Enter.

Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces

You'll see several alphanumeric subfolders.
Click on each one and look in right pane.
We're looking for a subfolder, where your router is listed in right pane.

Let me know, if you found it.

For instance, this would be my correct subfolder:

I did not find anything listed about a router. No folder named DHCPDomain. I looked just where you suggested. I did see that listing in my PC but not in the one we are working on.

Let's try something else...
Enable hidden Vista administrator account: http://www.howtogeek...-windows-vista/
See, if System Look script from my reply #81 will run there.

I hate to give up, but obviously several things are not working there.
Reinstallation is probably the fastest way to fix it.

Thanks for the attempt Broni. It is a shame because this computer is now fast as new. I will start the reformat in a few minutes. I have everything backed up thanks to your help where it would at least run. THANKS AGAIN. Vossy

One more thing before I wipe it. I put the windows xp cd in and booted it. I show this>
C:Partition ( System Rese)NTFS 100MB 74 Free
H:Partiton2 (NTFS) 76217 MB(58917 Free
Unknown Disk
There is no disk in this drive
Unknown Disk
There is no disk in this drive
Unknown Disk
There is no disk in this drive
I am assuming the unknown is the Memory Card Readers which this computer has.
Just strange that windows was not installed on the C drive. I guess it does not matter just wondering. I also assume the (System Rese) is the utility they put on it for testing hardware. It is a Compaq PC.Ok vossy

Wait a sec....you're installing XP on Windows 7 computer?
That's not a good idea.

Broni, this is an older Compaq that came loaded with XP and someone upgraded it to 7. vossy
