:wave:,
I was sent over to this section by Ried. I had a Thread here under the Virus/Trojan/Spyware help. Ried has done all he can do, I believe. There is not virus/trojan/spyware holding anything ransom.
Long story short, My sister bought a Compaq CQ60-215DX laptop from someone she works with about 1 month ago with Windows Vista 32 as the OS. After I ran Stinger I began having problems with network adapters. Device Manager items that are having trouble (everything in the device manager has a problem):
Atheros Ar5009 802.11a/g/n Wifi Adapter
NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller
WAN Miniport (IP)
WAN Miniport (IPv6)
WAN Miniport (Networking Monitor)
First I uninstalled both the NVIDA nForce Network Controller and the Atheros Ar5009 802.11 a/g/n WiFi Adapter thinking that a reboot would cause them to reinstall and work properly again. Well that wasn't the case. It did find the new hardware for both but I get the error that says "Windows found drivers for your software but encountered an error while attempting to install it. The system cannot find the file specified." The device manager shows all network adapters as not working properly with Code 31.
Then I downloaded the Chipset drivers, Atheros Wireless Lan Drivers, updated BIOS driver, and the NVIDA graphic drivers (280.26-notebook-win7-winvista-32bit-international-whql.exe) from the computers manufacturers website specific to the compaq computer code.
Nothing worked so I posted to the Virus/Trojan/Spyware help site thinking it was still the Virus/Trojan/Spyware that the computer had.
Since having conversed with Ried, I tried installing everything again. I followed some instructions on how to completely remove the drivers from the NVIDIA forums. Removing all the folders and using the DriverSweepe software to remove old or left over NVIDIA drivers. Then installed everything all over again and still no help.
Everything i boot the computer the found new hardware starts up, but I end up with the same problem "Windows found drivers for your software but encountered an error while attempting to install it. The system cannot find the file specified."
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.. ray:ray:
