Vista Tutorial - Messed Up big time

Well I was playing with a registry fix tool on my home Vista machine and
not thinking, I ran it on my work XP machine. Stupid me .... I have a
few errors but the biggest thing seems to be my TCP/IP stack is hosed.
I can't get a DHCP address assigned either wireless or wired. I have no
network connectivity. The machine is a IBM Thinkpad and I don't have
systems disks as it came pre-installed and is probably on some hidden
partition or something. OS is XP Professional ... any idea what my
options are? I feel like such a dufus.

First check if the registry tool has an undo option, many do.
Otherwise try System Restore to a Date/Time before you made the
changes:
Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore.

In the future be careful with such tools especially if you are using
someone else's computer.
I suggest not using those tools for reasons such as this and they
seldom return any noticeable results.
If you do use them, you must become familiar with them so you are
already prepared for such an event.
You should also be familiar enough so you can recognize if the key
recommended for deletion is necessary or not.
Do not blindly delete something just because some tool said it was OK.
It is your computer and you reap the benefits or suffer the
consequences, not the registry tools manufacturer.

Hi,

Try rebuilding the TCP/IP stack with the netsh command. Click start/run and
type CMD, then click ok. From the prompt, run:

netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt

Then close the prompt and reboot the machine.

Folks, thanks to all for the helpful hints, I appreciate all the fast
responds. The tools in my "Access-IBM" application had the registry
backed up and I was able to restore to working order just fine ...
