Have lost my hardware and printer profiles

Posted on 10/06/2004 8:50:08 AM PDT by rudy45

Thanks to everyone who helped on my previous post. I am running XP Home Edition, and was having trouble with spyware and getting onto IE.

I have downloaded and run Spybot S and D, but now have another problem. A number of drivers are missing (even though I'm running in normal mode). Specifically, - I have no hardware profiles - I cannot print, because I have no printers defined, and the "add printer" wizard gives me a "operation cannot be completed" error message - I have no wireless icon in my system tray (the picture of the two connected computers)

I still can access the Internet via a 10BaseT cable.

Any help is appreciated.
