Hey, I'm having a problem with my network adapter. When I plug it into my computer, the Found New Hardware wizard says "an error occurred during the installation of the device. A device attached to the system is not functioning."

Then after I installed the drivers from the CD, it didn't show up in the wireless network monitor (I'm using a linksys), so I checked it out in the Device Manager. There was a yellow exclamation mark on it, and I went to properties to see what was wrong. It told me, "this device is not configured properly (Code 1)" and it prompted me to reinstall the driver.

However, after I opened up the hardware update wizard and pinpointed the driver's location, it said that it could not find a better driver than what I have installed. I have tried messing with the registry, getting newer drivers, and actually getting a different network adapter. Nothing has worked, so I am really at a loss right now.

Any suggestions or advice would be very appreciated. I don't want to reinstall Windows!
