Hello
I have a Toshiba a25-s208 (XP pro-SP2, P4-2.66, 1Gig, 40 Gig hd, Toshiba
Wireless "MiniPCI"[Agere chip]
My problem is with the Wireless adapter, after updatingmy drivers my system
functioned properly for quite some time then it stopped connectiong to my
home network (linksys 11b, WEP 64 secure). after troublesooting with every
resource I could find I finaly got it working again for a short time, 2 - 3
days. Then it went down again, Agere and Toshiba TS both reccomended
Uninstalling, then reinstalling the hardware and drivers (possible
corruption).

After doing this, not only does it still not connect, but also Netstumbler
reports an error, and sees no networks at all.

After a bit of registry investigating, I find that I still have registry
keys from previous installations (Wireless Network Connection (2) - (3)
ect...

Can I remove All Registry Entries for the Wireless Card and Then ReInstall
the card and Drivers Properly. (I really do not want to Format and ReInstall
all of my Software, I have a lot)

Any Help would be Greatly appreciated

You better try to use system restore first, if it wont help do not delete
registry keys but just rename them.
