I'm not sure what you are trying to determine. Ø Sc qc npf
Returns the configuration for the npf service Ø Net start npf Starts the npf service. Clearly these are NOT the same thing. Ø Sc start npf would be the same as "net start npf" Something is clearly tangled up on the system which doesn't work. Winpcap works for me (and MANY other folks) on MANY Win7 x64 systems without any problem. Even though you've had control of the affected system since it shipped, something that happened to the system while you've had control of it has created this tangle. I hate to suggest restoring the system to the condition it shipped in would likely make things work, but that may be what you need to do.... Good Luck.

I have another Window 7 64 system that works fine - uses the same antivirus too. Today I figured out that the npf.sys driver must be a problem. On the troubled system, I ran sc qc npf and get a good report. So it seems the file is "there"..... If I run: sc config npf start= auto there is no complaint; yet, it doesn't seem to do anything in a reboot. If I run net start npf I get Syhstem error 2 has occurred The system cannot find the file specified. !!!!!! So, it appears there is a difference between sc qc npf and net start npf I've also looked at the ... well I can't find the full steps but it's like in the not plugnplay, hidden, etc. and it's not showing there....... Everything has been run as Administrator, etc. Fred On 1/5/2012 4:45 PM, "Fish" (David B. Trout) wrote: Fred Marshall wrote: This problem persists and I've not found a solution. Is there any way to install WinPcap on Windows 7 x64??? I've installed it many times on my Windows 7 x64 system without any problem whatsoever. So have many others. There is obviously something unique about your particular system that you need to figure out. Did you perchance change the permissions of your system drive (the Program Files directory)? Or change the permissions of your Registry? Did you maybe disable some critical Windows service or something? Have you tried COMPLETELY uninstalling your anti-virus? (just as a test) You (or someone else) obviously changed something on your system to prevent the installation of WinPCap from succeeding, and you need to figure out what that something was.
