[Can't install network connector]

Thank you all for the responses!  You are all correct.  Yes I am installing a 5G wireless network connector to my desktop.  I faced a multitude of problems.  I did uninstall my old connector with cccleaner and that made windows uninstaller unhappy.  When I tried to use windows restore to back up a few days, it didn't help.  I finally went back to basics and uninstalled the "new connector driver".  I rebooted to safe mode and disabled my AVG (antivirus).  Next I uninstalled Malwarebytes, Spybot, ccCleaner, and ZoneAlarm. 

 

I uninstalled these programs one at a time and tried to install my new connector after each individual program uninstall.  Finally when I uninstalled ZoneAlarm and went through the Mediatec connector setup, it (the connector) worked.  I rebooted back in normal mode, reinstalled the deleted programs to include Zonealarm and everything is copacetic.  Now I know,  I should have uninstalled the old connector through device manager> network adapters not with CCCleaner.  Then I should have uninstalled Zonealarm before trying to install my new network adapter. 

 

ps:  CC Cleaner did clean up the messy leftovers from my work.  Thanks also for the registry cleaning tip.  I have been using CC Cleaner for several years and it is super!!

 

Sincerely,

[Can't install network connector]

Hope this is in the right forum.  I was trying to install a new 5G usb network connector.  I used CC to uninstall the old driver and related program.  Now I can't install the new one or the old one.  Everything seems to be going fine with the reinstall but I cannot enable either device.  "No network connections are available."  There may be a problem with the device and there may be a problem with the driver warning are also displayed when I try to troubleshoot.  Another message I get is " Windows couldn't automatically bind the IP protocol stack to the network adapter.

 

I am running windows 7 sp1 with all the updates.  I have disabled my antivirus and spybot during the reinstall.  I have uninstalled and rebooted dozens of times along with trying every usb port. 

 

Is there anything ccc would have removed when I used it to do my initial connector uninstall?  I have been able to test the other connectors using my wife's computer and they install ok.

 

Thanks
