Can't get the sound to work in MSN Messenger. Using XP, with the latest downloads. Logitech cam Ver 7.0.
The only error message is" microsoft Tun miniport adapter #2" What is this? Sound works in all other programs.

I have XP Pro SP2 running on a couple of computers, and only on one did I have the TUN miniport Adapter #2 with a question mark through it. Deleting did not work, updating did not work, and info on this problem seems to be scarce.

It could be due to IPv6 and/or firewall setup (running Windows Firewall at one time, now running Tiny firewall or Panda Antivirus Platinum, including firewall.
However comments gleaned from somewhere on uninstalling IPv6 did not work, since it was not installed. (Forums.windrivers.com)

But hard-modifying the registry DID WORK! I did a search on TUN, and deleted all references (where possible, some "with asterixes" were locked), after first exporting the WHOLE registry to the boot directory. (C:\)

After rebooting I erased both references to TUN Miniport Adapter, and it worked! I never had problems with the machine, but did not like the fact that there were devices that I could not control! It has been running since with no problems.

:cool:
