I have some how corrupted my Win2K Pro notebook. If I
try to add a network protocol, client or service I get a
messgae stating: "Could not add the requested component.
The error is: The specified path does not contain any
applicable device INFs." I have tried deleting all my
NICs (PCMCIA cards) and reinstalling but nothing changes.
I have not found any usefull information from MSDN or a
Google search. Any ideas?
 
I've had the same problem with xp pro. Go to the following registr
entry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersio
DevicePath

The value shoud be %SystemRoot%\Inf and of type REG_EXPAND_SZ.
