mariv I wanted to post that it does work so peeps will know. We can look at your issue if you want.
Original ndis.sys from W7.7000 is 700,680 bytes and dated 12/13/2008, 0200AM.
You might also find it in c:\windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-ndis_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7000.0_none_183111f35806a1f8.
WinSXS is the 'real' location of each file in c:\windows; a driver could replace the file in c:\windows\system32\drivers but it would not be able to change the one in winsxs.
Try:
cd \windows
dir /s ndis.sys
HTH,
Rick
I am sorry I am not able to access my Windows7 at this moment but I think you can restore it to the original point to get the unmodified file. I think you don't have to start from scratch again...
Rick,
Got same verison of ndis.sys with same date and size in both folders (System32/drivers & winsxs)
Additionally I've tried to install 5.0.04.xxx but again without success. Don't know what happened.
Basically I've made update from Windows 7 b. 6965 to 7000 (not fresh install) and it stopped working :|
Any ideas guys?Code:C:\Windows>dir /s ndis.sys Volume in drive C has no label. Volume Serial Number is 786E-29C1 Directory of C:\Windows\System32\drivers 2008-12-13 08:00 700 680 ndis.sys 1 File(s) 700 680 bytes Directory of C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-ndis_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1. 7000.0_none_183111f35806a1f8 2008-12-13 08:00 700 680 ndis.sys 1 File(s) 700 680 bytes Total Files Listed: 2 File(s) 1 401 360 bytes 0 Dir(s) 58 321 756 160 bytes free

I'm having the same issue as well. I installed Windows 7 (build 7000) on a T60p Lenovo laptop and everything runs fine. When I install the Cisco VPN Client it works until I reboot. When I reboot I get the BSOD referencing ndis.sys. I've tried everything suggested so far in this thread to no avail.
Right now I'm going through the process of installing a few different versions of the VPN Client so we'll see if any of them work.
Yup. I formatted the drive and installed it fresh.
I actually just figured out how to make it work though. Before I was just setting the installer to Vista Compatibility mode and it kept failing. This time, after installing v5.0.04.0300 and before rebooting, I set vpngui.exe to Vista Compatibility and then rebooted. It didn't blue screen and I can now use the VPN Client just fine.
If someone else can try this to verify that this is what actually worked, that'd be great!

w8 few minutes
------------------
Not working for me...
Did you set C:\Program Files\Cisco Systems\VPN Client\vpngui.exe to Vista Combatibility mode right after you installed it?
