Network Corruption?

Hi

I have made several attempts to get help but no joy yet. I have had a
problem that has been raging for weeks. After hours of investigation it
appears that the network side of my Win Home XP SP2 setup may be corrupted
and I need to fix this. I have had trouble whereby everytime I connect or
disconnect my wireless network USB device on my notebook a whole series of
services terminate abnormally, causing havoc else where on my system.
Sometimes it is accopanied by a "Generic Host Win32 Services" error. I have
checked the event log but nothing useful seems to appear related to this.

I can occasionally get the network to function but I cannot access any
properties of the connection as this forces an "unexpected error" and causes
the services to terminate as described above.

I have tried uninstalling my network device and even purging the registry
and then reinstalling, nothing seems to work. Finally I attempted an in situ
reinstall of Windows only to find an error relating to netmap.inf being
incorrect when it tries to do a "Network Component Upgrade" and then setup
cannot continue.

I am really losing it over this PLEASE can someone offer some real help!

Thanks

Anthony
