The Error message says.

"Network Error

Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose.

Hide Details Diagnose Cancel

Error code 0x800704b3
The network path was either typed incorrectly, does not exist, or the network provider is not currently available. Please try retyping the path or contact your network administrator."

And when I click "Diagnose" I get the following message

"An error occurred

An error occurred while troubleshooting:

And a bigger problem when I want to make a Screen shot and past it in paint, it says "No error occurred" and it does not save it.

Can some one pleas help me



PS. can not send print screen, paint does not save the picture

PPS. Can't access My c: drive now, not even when I boot from XP
XP is on d: og Windows 7 is on C:

It sounds like it is trying to look for a network drive of some sort for your system - try running a Startup Repair from the DVD

Tried that, but didn't work, so I just mada a clean install

We have the same problem at my wifes computer: after a reboot all services fail, no access to the drives, basically everything fails with the access error 0x80070005.

Startup Repair did not help.
Cannot access System Restore (or any other services) in Safe Mode either.
Rebooting last working configuration does not work either.

Only change we could think of was unplugging an USB drive without safely removing it first.

two hours earlier we swapped graphics adapters (from a 9600 GT 512 to a 9600 GT 1024) and used windows update to update the drivers, but system rebooted fine after this.

rather puzzled here, any ideas?

thx in advance


EDiT: oh and btw: hi to all. been reading the forums for some time and should at this point thank you all. great community and probably the place with the most valuable advices related to Seven.

This is what MS has to say about your error:
You may experience various problems after you install the Microsoft Security Bulletin MS05-051 for COM+ and MS DTC

You may also need ro re-activate your product key

no security updates were installed. and, even if i wanted to follow the steps in the advisory, i cant, since i cant access %windir% to check the security settings of CLB files. i get access denied when trying to access anything outside C:\Users\<currentuser>

EDiT: after hours of reading forums, advisories, IRC channels and skype-conferencing with IT guys, i resorted to the ugly solution: fresh install.

without a solution, or any idea what might have caused this issue, i just hope it will not happen again.

I installed a fresh Windows 7 on my computer this morning and few minutes later it gave me the same crap it gave you, I can't believe now I have to reinstall it again. What a mess.

Could you be a bit more specific abt the problem. error codes?, 32 or 64 bit. and anything else you can think of
