who would think something so wonderful could be so annoying...

right my problem is iv stopped a registery value (through spybot) for my btinternet wireless connection manager and it stoped working , however it would still connect to the internet. when attempting to connect to a diferent wireless network i cant as i cant get the manager up even when starting the application manually. going on a mad rampage i decided to delete everything to do with bt in hope of regaining control of the windows zero config thingummy but it still said it was disabled as another program was manging it. so iv tried to restart that by following someones instructions t no avail (so maybe i need help here). so i then tried to restore my laptop to a point where i didnt have spybot however it will not restore! it just says it cant restore back to that point (a now secondary problem) and iv tried restoring to different points with the same result... so then (oh yes theres more =] ) i tried to reinstall btinternet in the hope it would replace the value however at the point of entering the key it says its wrong however the internet then connects itself (which is how im talking to you now) but i cannot proceed and reinstall the software

a right tin of beans ey?

so now i want to know what to do:-

1- get wireless zero config to start working again/btinternet to start working
2-work out why my system restore wont restore

p.s i also deleted spybot in the rampage hoping that it would reverse the changes it made so i cant restore the registry changes that i found out how to do later... :@

please help!!!

would be the thing to do if you can ,not sure you will have usb devices in safe mode though ,you'll have to try backup to be sure
