1. Today I updated my Windows XP vmware with the windows update, and after I rebooted, 
networking stopped working, and ipconfig shows all zeroes, and ipconfig/renew gives 
the error:
The operation failed as no adapter is in the state permissible for this operation.

Any idea what could have gone wrong?


2. The other thing I did on this vmware is disk cleanup. As there was very little 
space left on this machine, I chose to 'compress old files' when the 'disk cleanup' 
gave me this choice. I am not sure if this could be causing the networking problem, 
but I am not able to figure out how to undo this 'compress old files' operation. 
Anyone knows about it?

Thanks!
