After reinstalling Win2000 Pro from original CD (not T22 CD) all my original Thinkpad files are there. Why Win2K doesn't find the drivers is a mystery. I manually installed the XVA screen driver, so that is OK.
Also I manually reinstalled all the Thinkpad utilities, Hotkeys, Configuration utility, power management utility, etc. All work fine.
BUT I have been trying on and off for 3 days to get back on to the Internet.
I cannot get Win to recognize my Ethernet adapter or Wireless adapter (Programs recognize the Wireless Adapter program and the adapter light is blinking - I reinstalled from the original CD.)
I downloaded the Intel driver package for the Pro/100 SP Adapter, but cannot install - I get message "Windows Management Instrumentation service is not running"
The WMI is in HIVESYS.inf in C:\I386, but I can't recover it.
I was forced to reinstall Win2K when repairs of some WINNT files that got damaged, failed. Up to that moment both Ethernet and wireless connections worked fine
Any suggestions? .
I wish I were sailing!!!!
