error code 31

terrywh · 04-23-2009, 12:47 PM

I have aTrendnet wirless PC card IEEE 802.11g / 2.4GHz
TEW.421PC H/W:B1

Have downloaded the driver but keeps cpming up with error code31.
Have had the card for over year, but initially it worked ( but slowly ) then stopped. I think the card is OK.
I also have a Mentor wireless card which is WLG-PCM/11 which looks identical to above except the lable.
Cannot get into the configuration / setup panel on either.

One time the system stated that everyting was OK, but was not picking up.
Any advise would be gratfully welcome

Its been a long time since I used Win2000, but as I recall, the Windows driver signing was not auto matic, which means that any 3rd party software could overwrite Windows drivers. This is an excellent opportunity for incompatibility issues.

Goto Control Panel>System>Hardware and click the "Driver Signing" button. Click on the "Warn" radio button, click OK, close all windows, reboot.

Go back into Control Panel>System>Hardware and click "Device Manager." Click on each component and select properties to re-install the devices driver.

Thanks for the reply, must admit it was very fast.

My problem was solved before I received your message, because a friend of a friend came round last night & it took him 15min to sort it. I do not have a clue as to what was done, as he was just flicking around.

Thanks again for you reply, & will keep it safe just in case in the future.

Thanks
