Can i see what the system restore has done in the logs in windows 7

[jraju]

hI,I have some net connectivity problem. On surfing the net, i came across suggestion to uninstall unwanted adapters other than your adapter to fix this issue. I have tried uninstall in device manager in network adapters. It could not be , all the adapters are pseudo wan miniport adapters . Then as per the suggestion went to the registry found those and deleted it. I only deleted those adapters by seeing devicedes or some key. Then i reboot the windows in safe mode to delete the same. I have succeeded. But to my surprise, when i delete one adapter out of 8, all adapters except the wired , have been uninstalled. I reboot the system , but could not find the wired adapter. Whatsoever i tried, i could not install driver for my ethernet adapter realtek. Then i resorted to system restore, which restored the system as well as net connection. Before that,all the light except ethernet could establish green light. There was no light on ethernet port , and keep getting hardware or controller failure.
Now i restored to a previous date.My query is , can i see the logs and view , what went wrong with the ethernet adapters connection, when attempting those scary things i described.
a line in reply , where i could find those logs and how to intrepret the logs for my problem would be helpful.
I also wish to point out , that sometimes solutions are also creating problems like mine
Pl reply

Hi jraju,

When you delete/uninstall the network adapter/drivers and then reboot Windows automatically re-installs them from the system files.

You could also take a look at these:

Realtek* Ethernet Network Driver for Windows 7* for Desktop Boards

Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller

A Google search for your Motherboard and the appropriate up to date drivers would also be a good idea.

I hope this helps!

Hi I have the latest driver,but on installation I get error code 1 parameter incorrect. So I resorted to system restore. My query is the log file location. My computer did show spme controller error.
