WAN Miniport accidently deleted; unable to reinstall

The core problem is that I am no longer able to connect via RAS/VPN to my company network, it says - Error 651: The modem (or other connecting device) has reported an error. I am 99% sure this is caused by crashed WAN Miniport devices.
What I did: In device manager (network), 3 WAN Miniport (xxx) devices shown exclamation mark. Not sure what caused this, but I assume I made a mistake while making some experiments with Windows 8 Networking. I tried to repair. One of the first hints I found
by googling was to uninstall the WAN Miniport devices completely before reinstall. Trying this I failed, and more googling thrown the answer that I first need to assigned 'wrong' drivers to these devices. I've done this, and finally these devices could be
uninstalled.
But now I fail to reinstall them, whatever I try. I tried e.g.
this but here the Add Hardware wizard doesnt find the missing WAN Miniports. I am stuck. Whatever help I find, at least one of the necessary steps doesnt work.
I depend on this Dialup RAS Connection, it makes my VPN tunnel to my company.
Please help, I have no more ideas...
Thanks, Marc

Hello, is there nobody who can help? No workaround for uninstalling these WAN Miniport devices? Is it necessary at all to uninstall the remaining WAN Miniport devices, or can I continue with the (already killed and missing) 3 WAN Miniport devices?
Please, any help is highly appreciated!
Thanks, Marc
Hi, Me too is facing the exact issue as Marc i have also deleted the following:
WAN minport (IP)
WAN minport (IPv6)
WAN minport (L2tp)
WAN minport (Network Monitor)
WAN minport (PPPoE)
WAN minport (PPTP)
except the fact i am on win7 64 bit os. and my wifi is gone completely and on suing troubleshooter i have got the error of DNS server not found which i am sure due to these deleted miniports. Any help to get these drivers back on would be highly appreciated.

HT2523 I have accidently delete TextEdit in my computer, how can I reinstall it?

I have accidently delete TextEdit in my computer and cleared trash, how can I reinstall it?

I'd like to start by clearing up a lot of the nonsense that has been said here…
TextEdit is not available to download on the App Store & Mac OS 10.5 cannot access that anyway!
Tex-edit-plus is not the same app and Softonic have a bad reputation as seventy one mentioned, avoid it at all costs.
Text Wrangler – whilst it is a nice 'plain text editor' for editing 'code' files it will not open & save Word documents correctly, I'm not sure it handles RTF either? It is not the same as TextEdit.
The options I see you having are…
Recover it from a backup (let me guess - you don't have any?).
Extract it from the original OS installation media, Pacifist can help do this, but you will need to dig into packages to find it.
Install OS X onto a spare disk & copy that over.
Reinstall OS X over the top of your current install, causing the original applications to be re-written
It has been so long since I installed 10.5 I cannot remember if there was a 'reinstall OS X' option so it is possible that number 4 is NOT AN OPTION. If you attempt this & don't have a full bootable backup you risk losing everything.
Option 2 is the safest,
Insert your Install DVD, try opening the following location (the 10.5 install DVD has an 'Essentials.pkg' that appears to contain TextEdit). This is hidden on the disk inside the following folders…
Mac OS Install DVD/System/Installation/Packages/Essentials.pkg
Open that .pkg in Pacifist. It will create the layout that mirrors an installation, dig into 'Contents of Essentials.pkg' /Applications and you should find TextEdit.app. Try extracting that to a new location.
My terms may be incorrect since I used a newer version of Pacifist to check, but the general principle should be the same.
If you don't have the install DVD/ CD, frankly all hope is lost, go and buy one from Amazon or Ebay.
Now would also be a good time to learn how important backups are. Make one & keep it up to date, Carbon Copy Cloner will do that for you on 10.5.

Accidently deleted Market app..can it be reinstalled?

Has this ever happened to anyone? I accidently deleted my Market app.. I've emailed the customer service but haven't received a reply as yet. Can this be reinstalled?

There is no way you can delete the Market application from an Android phone. It is a system application. You can delete the icon from your homescreen. The Android Market was recently rebranded to the Google Play Store. Look for a Play Store icon in your application drawer.

Accidently deleted Safari!! How can I reinstall?

You can either download and reapply the 10.4.6 Combo Update, or extract just the application from said package using Pacifist. Hope that helps.

I accidently deleted Safari and now I can't reinstall because it keeps telling me there is a newer version on my computer. The issue is my system does not support the newer version. Does anyone know how I can get around this?

Apple wanted to charge me 50 bucks jsut to talk to someone!
I believe you may be referring to the $49 ASL agreement at AppleCare? That is only when/if you are out of AppleCare Protection.
Can you get to an AppleStore Genius Bar?
They may be able to fix this for you. No charge.
I highly doubt that. There is a $70 charge for troubleshooing software issues, EVEN IF there is AppleCare Warranty on the hardware.
However, since there is no charge for an appointment at a Bar, go make one, and see what options they give you. Let us know how it goes.

Accidently deleted Adobe Reader - Problems reinstalling

I accidently deleted Adobe Reader. I then downloaded Adobe Reader X (10.0.1). I thought it worked, but it does not show up in ALL PROGRAMS. I started over, and downloaded again. Adobe Download Manager returns the message "Error: Application already installed." I went to Add or Remove Programs, found Adobe Reader X (10.0.1), clicked Remove, and got the message "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable."

WAN Miniport can't load drivers

Have had a KT4V since last fall and I have three yellow circles with exclamation points on three WAN miniport drivers for PPPOE, PPTP, and L2TP, as displayed in Device Manager. I first saw these when I installed the machine using XP. A reinstall of XP didn?t fix it. Upgrading to SP1 did not make a difference; neither did changing video cards or hard disks. I have the latest 4 in 1 drivers installed yesterday, no difference. This is the KT4V with the built in Ethernet, and that works fine.
Whole machine works fine except I can?t access any dialup modem service, which before today wasn?t a problem because I didn?t have to do that with this machine. I get an ?error 6 ? no handle available? after the modem makes its connection. Looks like the TCP/IP stack is blown???
Now I need to access the net, and as quickly as possible. I assume this has something to with the miniports issue. Not sure as I haven?t found any documentation of the WAN miniports anywhere.
I?ve no idea if this is Microsoft?s problem, MSI?s, or Via?s, as none of them have clear documentation on how these things work that I could locate, but it surely is *my* problem.
The device manager won?t let me uninstall the WAN miniports,even in safe mode, which would be the first thing I?d normally do. Running SFC doesn't help either.
Rest of system:
KT4V with Athlon 1800XP 512K DRAM
AIW Radeon 7500 AGP
2 IDE hard disks
2 IDE CD drives
Creative Soundblaster PCI 128
SIIG dual serial port card
3.5" floppy
Problem first turned up when I set up the machine, which at the time was a low end Nvidia AGP card, no PCI 128, no SIIG card, one CD, one HD.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.

You may have already done this so forgive me if you have, but I would try deleting the contents of the /Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinters folder. I would then navigate to the /Library/Receipts and delete the Canon MP610 xxx.pkg file.
Then control-click on the Printers list in Print & fax and click on "Reset printing system..."
Then empty the Trash, unplug the MP610 USB and restart the iMac.
Then I would install the MP610 v6.91 OS X driver. I found it via the Canon Australia web site (http://www.canon.com.au/products/allin_one_printers/all_in_one_printers/mp610support.aspx).
Once the installation is complete, reconnect the MP610 to the iMac and wait. The printer should automatically appear in the Print & Fax application.
Also, in future, you should be posting this on the Leopard printing forum...

SOLVED! WAN Miniport #2 yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager

This topic is to collect some information, if someone has any, about the WAN miniport #2 virtual device in Windows 8
There are many complaints but so far there has been no resolution to the problem.
Just as a heads up, since it windows doesn't allow you to uninstall it I tried to delete it through registry and lost the ability to see any networks while the hardware itself was recognized and working.
EDIT: The **bleep** thing is out! Had to call excorcist in jk..
Anyway, I want kudos for this, now.
Found the solution following this link: http://oyam.ca/blog/2011/11/windows-miniports.html
FIne gentleman who runs it had a tip waiting for us, summary is below:
To do this, DO NOT edit the registries. There are number of other registry keys that depend on the miniports being present, and it is super easy to completely break the network stack, to a point where the base network card driver won’t work. (If you did this already, let’s hope your system has restore points — you can restore to previous snapshot and try doing it the non-registry way outlined there.) When doing this, take a note of the miniports that you are removing, you’ll need to know this later when reinstalling.
So, to remove each non-working miniport, do the following:
    Right click on the non-working miniport, choose “Update Driver”.
    Choose “Browse my computer”.
    In the next window, choose “Let me pick driver from a list”.
    Uncheck “Show compatible hardware”. From the “Manufacturer” list, choose “Microsoft”, and from the “Network Adapter” list, choose “MAC Bridge Miniport”. (It can be any device the user is allowed to uninstall.) *here I chose the first entry, Generic Broadband device driver.
    Back in the device manager, delete the device that just turned into the “MAC Bridge Miniport” device.
Once done removing the bad miniports, reboot. Don’t skip this, it’s important. Otherwise there is a change things will go bad again.
And it works!!! Rebooted two times just to be sure.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm glad you've found a solution, however, when I go inte the Network Adapter List, I do not have the option of choosing "MAC Bridge Miniport" there is no such miniport. Does anyone have an alternative I can use? Or is there some other way to Solve this problem? I'm using a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E530.

Accidently deleted the Adobe PDF printer from the Printer List

Hi Guys,
I have accidently deleted the 'Adobe PDF printer' from the Printer List and am now unable to print any files to PDF from any application.
Any ideas of how to get it back?
Cheers, Nosaj68.
Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi Nosaj68
Welcome to Discussions.
1. In Applications/Utilities/Printer Setup Utility, select Add printer and reinstall it.
2. If you can't find this file, reinstall Adobe Acrobat and that should put it back again for you.

W530 Wifi issues and WAN Miniport disabled (Code 31) AHHHH!!!!!!

Hey guys,
This is my 2nd W530. The first one was replaced for the same issues I'm having now.
My wifi is very slow and inconsistent. I'm always having to disconnect and re-connect with my router (brand new router since I thought the old one could be the issue). This has been an issue since I received my new unit.
Yesterday I had a yellow exclamation mark pop up in Lenovo manager and said my network monitor WAN miniport was disabled (code 31). Since that popped up connecting to the wifi is very rare and requires a lot of effort. I'm out of ideas and considering calling Lenovo and having them take this thing back and give me a refund.
Anyone else experienced these issues? I tried windows 8 troubleshooter and it detects the issue but can't fix it. I tried updating the driver and it tells me its up to date and I tried uninstalling it and I'm unable to.

Thanks for that, it's actually exactly what I wanted to read
Again, which WLAN adapter do you have in the system please?
When I read your post yesterday I took a look in my device manager and it was showing exactly the same problem which hadn't been present two days ago. It's something I've been keeping an eye on because I have the Intel Centrino Advanced N-6205 WLAN card which seems to be having problems being reported all over the web.
Trouble shooting to date,
after rolling back my Windows 8 X64 to the 15th May, before running Windows Updates, the WAN miniport problem had gone away. I then started trying to narrow things down by installing / uninstalling various updates and drivers.
At the moment I am at the stage that I can roll back the system to the 15th May, (no problem), and then install through Windows Update "Update for Windows 8 for x64-based Systems (KB2836988)" on it's own and immediately after a restart the WAN miniport problem is there again.
I have as yet been unable to get rid of the error by uninstalling the update, uninstalling / reinstalling drivers and various other softwares which could be a factor, but haven't given up yet.
Any chance you could roll back your system to a point where the error wasn't showing in Device Manager and see if you can replicate what I have experienced by just installing the one update?
Edit; for the record I am using a T430 W8 x64.

WAN Miniport (2) suddenly appearing with yellow triangle icon

Last week I was called to troubleshoot a Lenovo Thinkpad that could not connect to the network. Device manager showed the Realtek NIC, a Centrino wireless adapter, Teredo Tunneling adapter, and six listings for WAN Miniport adapter, all of these items with
the yellow triangle and exclamation point. It was not possible to update the drivers, because no network connections were available. Even a wired connection would not work. Whenever I tried to run the troubleshooter, I got the error that the Diagnostics Policy
Service was not running.
After much googling, I eventually tried uninstalling the network devices and rebooting to have Windows reinstall them. This didn't work, as soon as I tried to use the driver, the yellow triangle came back. Finally I decided to reformat back to factory settings.
After reformatting, I was able to add the laptop back on the network, with both wired and wireless connections working. In Device Manager there were listings for Bluetooth adapters, the LAN adapter and wireless adapter, and a single WAN Miniport adapter.
I disabled the option to allow these devices to turn off the computer.
I was able to browse the network and get online to update software.
After I left to do something else, I came back and the laptop display was off, so I had to hit power to bring it back. I logged in, and the wireless connection had dropped. I was able to reconnect, but that shouldn't have happened - it's unusual behavior.
I went to Device Manager and now there are two WAN miniports, and #1 has the yellow triangle and is not working. #2 is working. Again I went to the power options and disabled the option to allow the adapter to turn off the computer.
Now I am wondering what's going on, and if the problem actually is hardware-related and not driver-related. Why was it working OK yesterday and now I'm getting errors again? Is this possibly a hard drive issue? The laptop is less than 2 years old.
I'd appreciate any advice.

Hi,
Firstly, about "I got the error that the Diagnostics Policy Service was not running.", you could start this service to clear up this message:
1. Type "Services" in the start menu search box, press Enter.
2. In the Services window, navigate to the following one
3. Right click "Start" button to make it running.
The next, about the WAN miniport issue, do the following:
1.Open Device Manager.
2.Right-click the WAN miniport (Network monitor) device, and then click
Update Driver Software.
3.Click Browse my computer for driver software.
4.Click Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
5.Clear the Show compatible hardware check box. From the list than select something that can be removed for instance Microsoft -> Generic Mobile Broadband Adaptor. and click next.
6. Back in the device manager, delete the device that just turned into the “MAC Bridge Miniport” device.
7. Once done removing the bad miniports, restart the computer.
Finally, check the result.
