protocol list blank, network drivers wont start

cant get any network cards to install on a particular nt4.0 machine.
have tried over 5 cards to no avail. the device driver wont start in
every case. and , in every case, it shows that the driver was
installed. the intel pro/100 s adapter came with a diag program which
says that the card is ok but nt still wont start the driver.

A hunch, perhaps this might be the problem:

Service, Protocol, and Adapter Lists Can Appear Blank in NCPA
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=130680

To fix it see here:

Aaron Stebner's WebLog
Solving setup errors by using the SubInACL tool to repair file and
registry permissions

After you do the procedure described in Aaron's blog use Regedt32 and
propagate the security permissions from parent to child objects on
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key. You have to use Regedt32 to do this, Regedit
cannot do security.
