A friend gave me their old laptop. It can't connect to the internet. I get "Error 815" If necessary, here are the specs: HP Pavilion dv6700 (specifically dv6736nr) Windows Vista Home Premium, 32 Bit AMD Turion 64x2 (TL-60, 2 GHz) Memory: 2 GB RAM Storage: 220 GB I'd like to do a clean install of Vista, but it didn't come with any OS discs and I will NOT spend any money buying the discs, so I'm forced to find the solutions by manually fixing everything myself. I used my other laptop to download a bunch of malware utilities (SuperAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes, Combofix, MGtools, etc) as well as cCleaner to find/delete any virus. I also installed Avast anti-virus software and so far the machine is clean from malware. I think some DLL's or some other OS system files got deleted, thus the reason for not being able to connect to the internet. I need help though. I went into the Device Manager and tried to uninstall the WAN Miniport pppoe, but I'm not sure if I was successful or not. Can someone help me?
