Re: Enabling network connection leads to bluescreen

I tried to install a new network connection via the wizard. This seems to be working, but a new connection is not displayed.

Also - deleting the old connection is not possible.

I tried to restart the sytem in safe mode with network drivers enabled. This option doesn't really work for me right now, as I have a parallel install of Windows 7 running, which somehow does not allow me to boot XP in safe mode. I'd therefore be grateful for an idea that does not require to boot in safe mode.

Any ideas on how I can get my network connection running again?
Thanks,

System: XP Professional
Try using the Ms config utility, Start, Run type in . msconfig. then select boot ini tab, and then select SAFEBOOT \ MIN.

That way should work.
