Have you tried different USB port ?

I am using the Windows XP mode from Windows 7 to operate some programs that are not 64-bit compliant. &nbsp;The software works however the network adapter I require to connect to a lon network (type of data network for building automation) comes up with the following error when I attempt to install it. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
<b>&quot;The registry key for the network interface could not be opened. &nbsp;You cannot modify the configuration settings until at least one Network Interface has been inserted and recognized by the system.&quot;</b><br />
<br />
I have confirmed that it is recognized in Windows 7 with the correct name and it attaches correctly when I attach the USB using the &quot;attach&quot; feature of windows XP mode. &nbsp;The USB device even shows up in the &quot;Lonmaker&quot; software as it is supposed to however without installing it using the plug 'n play installer it will not function.<br />
<br />
I have also confirmed that the network adapter is working correctly on another computer.<br />
<br />
Is there a way to find and copy the registry settings from another computer to bypass the &quot;plug 'n play&quot; installer or repair this error. &nbsp;Please note I have confirmed with the manufacture and 64-bit support and or software is not available.<br />
