After uninstalling PGP 7.0 from my Win XP, I'm no longer able to access any network ressources. The problem is that PGP uninstalls the TCP/IP stack (how is this possible?) and the TCP/IP stack does not support manual reinstallation (under XP). What can I do?
netsh int ip reset didn't help, even reinstalling XP over the existing installation didn't succeed.
Thank's for any help.
 
Try using:
netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt

It won't re-install anything, but it will reset all your registry keys to default. This SHOULD work, as XP uses system file protection, and won't allow anything from modifying it's tcp/ip files. In fact, XP should detect this, and restore them automatically. Run the command up above, and the log file, resetlog.txt, will show what keys it modified to default.
