You might be able to do a restore and get it back.
Now all I did on my xp box was share the folders I wanted on the
network, and the vista and windows7 box saw them right off. i opened
a shared folder on the vista and window7 box and now my mac sees all
3 ops on the network..

Greetings. I have a public folder on my xp machine that I want to access
with my windows7 machine. The xp network setup wizard said that I need to
run the network setup program for xp on all machines that aren't xp. Now
does this mean only machines that run a windows that predates xp, or does it
mean that even vista and windows7 boxes need me to run this software? I
created the software. It put a setup program on my USB drive. I took that
drive to my windows7 machine and plugged it in.
Oh gross. I ran the program and it failed and ditched execution, and now I
have no internet -- it zapped the wi-fi connection. Not only that, but
windows, or something claiming to be windows is asking me to activate
windows.
I thought I did activate it. I have activated everything.
Ok, you can call me an idiot if you like... i think I earned that one.
How do I recover sanity on my windows7 box? It was running so well.
You may ask, why don't I just copy the files to it instead of making the old
machine my server -- the answer is that I have printers and braile embosser
that don't have updated drivers and I wanted to share them on our home
network.
Has anyone successfully done what I am trying to do?
Does anyone have any tips on undoing the damage on my new machine?
A machine without internet -- it's like cutting the line to a diver...
HELP
TIA.
