I have windows xp home sp1. When I go to safe mode, go to device manger, go
to network adapters it shows about 10 adapters in it. When I try to
uninstall it says " Failed to uninstall the device. The device may be
required to boot up computer.". I know at least 3 of them are network cards
that is not in the computer. My network stopped working is why I even looked
there. Any suggestions would be very helpful. Here is a list of adapters
that it shows that can not be uninstalled.

Network adapters:
Direct Parallel 5.1.2535.0
D-Link DFE-530TX+ PCI Adapter 5.397.823.2001
D-Link DFE-530TX+ PCI Adapter - Packet Scheduler Miniport5.1.2535.0

WAN Miniport (L2TP) 5.1.2535.0
WAN Miniport (PPPOE) 5.1.2535.0
WAN Miniport (PPTP) 5.1.2535.0

Rick / Deb,

Please help us to help you.
1) Provide additional information in the same thread as you start with - don't
start additional threads. When we have to look back and forth in different
threads for different diagnostic data, it causes fatigue, which causes mistakes,
and hampers the diagnostic process.

2) When someone replies with an answer to your post, answer to that reply.
This is the standard for dialogue in the various forums on the internet:

etc

When its:

It's hard to follow the thread. Please don't post this way.

Now let's see what your problem may be. I see the many adapters, in the Everest
report. Please look under Settings - Network Connections - Local Area
Connection - Properties, under "This connection uses the following items:", and
list what's displayed there. It's possible that unwanted protocols may be
loaded, to start. You cannot uninstall hardware devices that have protocols
bound to them.

It also might help to know exactly what problems you're having with your
network, just in case the problem is not solely caused by excess network
adapters. Try and describe what network functions work and don't work, from
each computer. And how are all the computers connected?
