The VarLDID "patch" is normally for where the user is seeing setupx errors when attempting to access Add/Remove Programs | Windows Setup due to the use of a registry cleaner after deleting certain empty folders in the Program Files folder placed there during the install. An empty Windows Setup window is often indicative of more that just problems with the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Set up\VarLDID key (the "patch" you refer to is the fully populated key) but also possibly damaged or missing entries in the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Set up\OptionalComponents key. I'll be happy to supply the OP with a reg file including both keys if they contact me. Thanks. In both of the registry locations mentioned above there are entries, though it seems something may be corrupted. Also, I believe that somewhere in the registry is the "TCP/IP Protocol" that appears in the My Network Places / Properties listbox (it may say something like "TCP/IP - Dial-Up Adapter"). If you can export this registry key that would likely help too, and might be the most useful. That way I could import the registry file and would create a "TCP/IP" entry for me, as adding it through My Network Places / Properties - Add - Protocol - Add is not working (ie. the problem of the original post of this thread). It's going to be a little hassle because my computer has no internet connectivity, so I think I'll have to copy whatever files to a 1.44MB floppy disk on another computer, then put that disk into my computer so that I can get the files. Alternatively, if the file is very short then I could just type it out again on my computer, like copying it manually. Thanks. |

Anyway, I found out about the following command: scanreg /restore, which restores the registry to a previous state. Using this I got back my previous settings. Now when I bind "D-Link AirPlus DWL-G520 Wireless PCI Adapter (rev.B)" to the TCP/IP, then internet explorer, file explorer, and Outlook Express cease to work. I'll start a new thread about this problem. |
