Network adepter instalation problem - The name is already in use as a service name or service display name

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I tried to install USB Wireless network adapter to my XP system
(OFFICECONNECT WIRELESS 11g USB ADAPTER). Not only that I couldn't establish
a connection through that new wireless adapter - I also lost my regular PCI
network adapter - couldn't connect via the PCI adaptor and couldn't set it's
TCP/IP configurations. I uninstalled the TCP/IP and when I tried to
reinstall I got: "The name is already in use as a service name or service
display name".
I installed the latest version of the COM USB Adaptor driver and still I get
this when trying to add TCP/IP to either the PCI and the USB adaptor.
After doing some research I tried removing the services entries for those
adaptor from the registry - but this didn't solve the problem. I even tried
repair installation of XP - without any success.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks,
