Cisco VPN client failed to enable virtual adaptor












1















I'm trying to connect to a server using Cisco VPN client 5.0.07.0290 on windows 7 but while it's trying to secure the communications channel it comes up with an error 'Failed to enable Virtual Adaptor'.



Can anyone shed any light on the problem?

  • I am facing the same problem Richard. Disabling ICS did not help. Could you update your question to let people know that (if) it did not work for you as well?

This is probably very late for Richard, but I am writing this for the benefit of other users who navigate to this forum due to its popularity.



First-off, I am using the Cisco VPN v 5.0.07..0440 on 64-bit Windows



In my case the 442 error was spawned by the display name of the virtual adapter getting modified in the registry after a VPN re-install (to resolve a separate issue).



The steps to fix this problem are as follows:




  1. Hit windows+R type regedit in the Search field and hit enter.

  2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesCVirtA

  3. Find the String Value called DisplayName

  4. Right click and select Modify from the context menu.

  5. In Value data, remove @oemX.inf,%CVirtA_Desc%;. The Value data should only contain Cisco Systems VPN Adapter for 64-bit Windows.

  6. Click Ok.

  7. Close Registry Editor.

  8. Retry your Cisco VPN Client connection.
