Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Chuck
thanks for your time with this one, I have included the ipconfig results
from the problem system.
Also I did the regedit from your link [EnableProxy] the value wasn't
present but adding it and having the value set to either 0 or 1 didn't
fix the problem.
