Unless my menu is crook, I am selecting correctly.
- you are correct about the symptoms!
EDIT: I've just run my HP Laptop (XP Home SP3) in that mode and there is perfect internet connection and a visible adapter. Am I perhaps missing some registry keys?
I've just compared the SAFEBOOT/NETWORK keys and they are identical except for a procexp90.sys, Data 'Driver' on the problem desktop (XP PRO SP3) which is not on the lap. (Different adapter). Cannot locate the .sys on the machine. According to info it should be in sys32/drivers.
