Hi,
Recently i installed "Search Protect by conduit" and when trying to uninstall it and other software, I unexpectedly uninstalled realtek audio driver. Though I could be able to re-instal it, since then I could not able to access the network connection folder, Google chrome cannot be opened, a lot of icons on the system tray disappear, quick launched could not start automatically (I have to relaunch every time), Add/remove programs show no list of installed programs (is is empty), I can not remove external hard disk with right click option on the system tray (but with double click), login takes very long time (so I have to press CTRL-Alt-Del in the mean time->Users->Logoff->login again) and to shutdown my laptop I have to use the power button. But with safe mood I can access the network connection folder, add/remove programs populate, but still wifi doesn't work. Please help.
