[Openvpn-users] OpenVPN uninstall failed after botched installation

     Someone tried to install OpenVPN ver1.5 on my Windows 2000 Server. They 
did not read the installation instructions first, and also tried to use the -
tun- feature, which I have concluded will not work with Windows. It did not 
work, and he tried various other options and created several virtual 
connections which were subsequently deleted. He then used the "Uninstall 
OpenVPN" option from the menu, but I later found about a half dozen registry 
entires related to the failed installation that did not get eliminated.
     At present, my web browser and email client don't connect. The system 
does not pick up the DHCP assigned IP address from my NAT/router. I can ping 
other IP addresses with their IP address, but not the domain name. My VNC 
connection to my office no longer functions. I have tried everything I can 
think of, including uninstalling the network driver, but nothing seems to have 
any effect. I would rather not have to reinstall the operating system, but 
it's beginning to look like I might have to if no one in this forum can help 
me. Curiously enough, Windows does not allow me to create a new network 
connection and if I uninstall the driver, once I reinstall, the old connection 
comes back with its original name. Heeelllp!  RRT
