Hi Enigma,
it's a few months ago that you covered this problem. Did you solved it so far?
I've updated my Thinkpad R50p to XP SP2 and have exactly the same problems as you
described.
- empty device manager that displays only the Computername
- only garbage in the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum":
$%&'()*+,-,/0123
that repeats all the time and gets longer and longer. Seems like a bug, that is related
to recursive programming in a programm that updates this registry entry.
- my internal modem does not work anymore
- no LAN or Highspeed Connections displayed anymore in the Network Connections.
Best regards,
Steven.
