You can try and backup the config on the computer that is working, you will see the backup/restore utility under linx in your program files. Then restore that file to the computer that is not working. You will still have to load the EDS files...
iggy,
The RSLinx Backup Restore Utility only backs up and restores your driver configuration. This is not a driver issue here. If a driver cannot browse to a device a Red
X is displayed over the icon.
In the screenshot in the PDF you can see that the "
AB_ETHIP-1, Ethernet" driver is browsing to the 1769-L32E at 10.1.1.21.
There is no Red
X so RSLinx can see it, it just doesn't recognize it.
An "Unrecognized Device" will display a Yellow
? and is an EDS issue.

I have failed to register the whole directory of 1769-L32E EDS files because on each file I get the same error described above and pictured in my pdf file. It seems Windows wouldn't let me register any eds files. I'm out of ideas, please help.
Andy,
Just so you know, that zip file contains the EDS files (up to revision 20) for the entire CompactLogix family, old and new, and not just the 1769-L32E.
I've not seen that EDS Wizard "windows system error" before, but if no EDS files are registering there is either something wrong with your Windows System or Rockwell Software.
Just to rule it out, is User Account Control (UAC) enabled on this laptop? Do you receive UAC prompts?
Can you check if this file exists:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockwell Software\RSCommon\
RSEDSDB.sdf
If you do have this file:
Can you please post a list of all Rockwell Software, including their versions, you are currently running on this laptop, and on the working laptop for comparison.
Include any of the following that you may have:
FactoryTalk Services Platform (FTSP)
RSLinx Enterprise (RSLE)
RSLinx Classic (RSLC)
RSLogix 5000 (RSL5K)
RSLogix 5000 Module Profiles
Studio 5000 (Studio5K)
RSNetWorx for DeviceNet/Ethernet
DeviceNet Tag Generator (DNET Tag Gen)
Connected Components Workbench (CCW)
If you do not have the
RSEDSDB file then ignore that request.
Any other pertinent info you can provide as to your recent activities on this laptop, with regard to Rockwell Software installations, updates, or uninstalls, would also be useful. That also goes for Windows updates, or general Windows issues you may have noticed recently.
