Install VPN Client Virtual Adaptor

Hi,

I've accidentally uninstalled Stonesoft IPsec VPN Client Virtual Adaptor from Device Manager > Network Adaptor. How and where can I download and re-install this adaptor so my VPN can function again?

Thanks for any advise.

System Restore should fix the problem.

When you install third-party software and drivers then good house-keeping is essential. You should note these details:

- Name of product

- Whereyou got it from and when

- Cost and product key

- Where you store the installation file

Hi Frederik

Many thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately System Restore is not an option for me. I'll have to find another way to re-install or get hold of the driver.

Things get progressively harder with a double contingency: System Restore turned off and no backup of installation files. The following complex process illustrates what I mean. It restores your registry files to an earlier point in time. Maybe it will work, maybe it won't. It is fully reversible.

1. Keep tapping F8 during the early boot phase.
2. Select Repair from the menu.
3. Log on under an admin account if prompted.
4. Select Repair when prompted.
5. Select the Command Prompt from the menu.
6. Identify the correct drive letter for your Windows installation. It could be a drive other than C: but it won't be X:. You do it by typing the commands
    dir C:\Win*
    dir D:\Win*
    dir E:\Win*
    until you find the Windows folder.
    I shall call that drive "Q:".
7. Type these commands:
    cd  /d  Q:\windows\System32\config
    xcopy  *.*  Q:\MyRegBack\
    cd  RegBack
    dir
8. Examine the dates of the Software, System and SAM files. Were the files created before or after you deleted the driver?
9. If they were made before you deleted the driver then you can type these commands:
    copy /y software  ..
    copy /y System  ..
    copy /y Sam ..
    (the two dots are part of each command)
10. Reboot normally. If things do not work out then you can backtrack by copying the original registry files from Q:\MyRegBack to Q:\Windows\System32\config.
