Microsoft ISATAP Adapter is reporting

Greetings,

On a Windows Vista-based computer, the Microsoft ISATAP adapter appears with a yellow exclamation mark (!) next to it in Device Manager.
You can safely ignore this error message. This error message does not indicate a problem with the adapter. The adapter will continue to work correctly.
Check out this article for more information on this:

If this is still not working,
First try to reset Winsock from command prompt, this will reset all the Network components to default:
Click on start, type CMD,'Right click and Run as Administrator'.
At the command prompt type:
netsh winsock reset catalog
In such a case, I suspect this problem to be caused by network adapter missing or corrupt. Please firstly reinstall the driver for your wireless network adapter. Then try to reinstall Microsoft ISATAP using following steps:
1.In Device Manger, right-click the item of Microsoft ISATAP and select Uninstall.
2.Still in Device Manager, click Action and select Add legacy hardware.
3.Click Next, and select Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced), click Next.
4.Select Network Adapters and click Next.
5.Select Microsoft in left panel and Microsoft ISATAP Adapter in the right panel.
6.Click Next and finish the remaining wizard.

ISATAP is Microsoft trying to allow IPv6 to function over an IPv4 infrastructure, however, it was released extremely prematurely, and as a result, doesn't like to work, or install. According to Microsoft, your computer should continue to function without ISATAP functioning,and the error message may be ignored. However, if you believe that this may be causing you some problems, then you may navigate to the device manager ( Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Device Manager ) from this window, see if you can find ISATAP adapter and 4TO6 adapter, right-click these, and select "Disable" NOTE: this may cause Internet Explorer and Windows Mail to run slower and have a few errors.

I hope this helps!

Run the System Recovery

.
Disconnect your device and any other external devices.
Re-boot the machine in safe mode and check the device manager for flags.
If you see other devices or flags, red or yellow, remove them.
Re-boot the 6000 and allow unit to run a normal boot.
Check device manager again for flags.
If you are running VISTA, type msconfig at search and in center of page, look for add or remove programs. Highlight and hit the lunch button.
Find your TV tuner program and remove it.
Close out the utility and reboot the system.
Check your device manager again for flags.
If OK re-install hardware and drivers.

reinstall windows vista and when it comes to a screen that says repair new os or boot you want to hit repair this will initialize vista program to install back in what has been taken out and go threw instructions and follow them till completly done

sone ideas: - is there another machine with similar hardware? maybe export part of the registry from other machine to this one - system restore? - check drivers on acer site, maybe find similar driver, or known issue - check other support forums (google) the error - check microsoft, check intel for known issues
