>Why play with the registry? - that's what
install/uninstall routines are
>for!! (at least in theory<g>)
J: Indeed! It seems to me (IMHO) that one or more install
routine ain't working, 'cos icsharep isn't getting
installed.
>File compares can be fooled -or you may be looking at the
wrong copy of the file!
J: I use Beyond Compare, which is pretty good. Allows you
to compare files in a file explorer view and then contents
of two files side-by-side. Use it all the time at work
(multimedia/web development).
>You don't need NetBeui, whatever else you might need - so
forget it (and it can cause problems).
J: I don't have it installed, but installed it and
uninstalled it as part of a set of steps recommended to
fix problems with netconn (on practicallynetworked.com and
homenethelp.com amongst others)
>Have you made sure that you have the correct driver
installed for the network cards (i.e. does the network run
OK until you install ICS??)
J: Yes. I believe I have correct and latest manufacturers
drivers (as opposed to microsoft) and both cable modem
connection and home network work ok and at the same time.
>You *may* have 'version soup' - have you reinstalled ME
over itself from the CD at any point?
J: I've never reinstalled.
>Have you had a virus infection? - what's your AV??
J: not been infected as far as I know. I have Norton AV as
part of Norton Internet security. Been running since Jan
2002 (and I've upgraded to 2003 and 2004 edition)
J: One final thing. I had a similar problem trying to set-
up VPN a couple of years ago. This was before I put a
network card in the machine and was accessing internet via
dialup. When trying to install VPN I kept getting a
message about NDISWAN not being installed, and the MS VPN
adapter wouldn't appear in network properties (just as ICS
adapter and protocols don't appear in network properties
when I install it now)

end of new stuff!
