I have XP Pro SP2 running on a couple of computers, and only on one did
I have the TUN miniport Adapter #2 with a question mark through it.
Deleting did not work, updating did not work, and info on this problem
seems to be scarce.

It could be due to IPv6 and/or firewall setup (running Windows Firewall
at one time, now running Tiny firewall or Panda Antivirus Platinum,
including firewall.
However comments gleaned from somewhere on uninstalling IPv6 did not
work, since it was not installed. (Forums.windrivers.com)

But hard-modifying the registry DID WORK! I did a search on TUN, and
deleted all references (where possible, some "with asterixes" were
locked), after first exporting the WHOLE registry to the boot
directory. (C:\)

After rebooting I erased both references to TUN Miniport Adapter, and
it worked! I never had problems with the machine, but did not like the
fact that there were devices that I could not control! It has been
running since with no problems.
