can't open net monitor plugin

There are two ways:
1) Run the command:

Code:

regsrv32.exe netmon.dll

You need add the ful paths if needed.

2) Uninstall Net Monitor. Delete all NM files if they left on the HDD. And install plugin again.

Thanks for your quick answer

I already did 2), but that didn't help.

So I did 1): I started regsrv32.exe netmon.dll, incl. the full path, but then the following error message appears: "LoadLibrary ("netmon.dll") failed - A Device Attached to the System Is Not Functioning."

Then I searched (at google) what could be the cause for this error message - and found this MS site:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/139434/EN-US/">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/139434/EN-US/</a><!-- m -->
and this
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B139434&x=13&y=10">http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3 ... &x=13&y=10</a><!-- m -->

Then I tried method 2 from this pages (extract the winoa386.new from the original Win98SE CD) but even that didn't help (still the "Device Attached to the System Is Not Functioning" error message appears.).

I also found this page
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.salefind.com/tech/Explanation%20of%20Regsvr32%20Usage%20and%20Error%20Messages.htm">http://www.salefind.com/tech/Explanatio ... ssages.htm</a><!-- m -->
where you can find the remark referring this error message:
"This behavior can occur if you try to register a Win16 .dll file"
(at the bottom of the page).

I use a German Windows 98SE (original, not cracked), and my network card in my PC is a network adapter connected via USB ("Teledat Fast Ethernet USB").

Hope you can help me with this error message.
