[SOLVED] adaptor problem driver is not installed

cmptr ignorant · 07-06-2008, 06:07 PM

I have a Dell Inspiron 6000, it was working fine the other day, then I started it up and started getting this errror message, Adaptor problem driver is not installed. I am not a computer guy at all so I dont know where to start. Any help would be great.

Techie.UK · 07-06-2008, 06:18 PM

Hi cmptr ignorant,

Welcome to TSF. I hope I can solve your problem.

Could you please post the full text of the error message (if there is more)?

Regards.

cmptr ignorant · 07-06-2008, 06:38 PM

Intel (R) PROset / Wireless software was unable to detect a supported wireless adaptor. Please install a supported adaptor.

**johnwill** · 07-06-2008, 06:47 PM

Hold the Windows key and press R, then type devmgmt.msc

Please respond to all the following steps.

Under Network adapters, please tell me all the devices listed.
Are there any devices under Network adapters that have a red x displayed?
Also, are there any devices anywhere in the Device Manager display with yellow ? or ! displayed?

cmptr ignorant · 07-06-2008, 07:02 PM

1. 1394 adaptor
broadcom 440x 10/100 intergrated controller
2. No
3. I dont see any ? or !, where would they be if there was?

cmptr ignorant · 07-06-2008, 07:28 PM

It shows the Intel PROset in the programs area, how come it does not show it in the device manager.

Techie.UK · 07-06-2008, 07:32 PM

Go to Start > Accessories > System Tools > System Information.

Open the components sublist then scroll to network and click Adapter.

Then please cut and paste that data here.

cmptr ignorant · 07-06-2008, 07:38 PM

The system summary? All of that info?

Techie.UK · 07-06-2008, 07:49 PM

No. The second option below System Summary, Components. Then Network > Adapters. Copy the information from the Adapters folder.

Try downloading and installing this...

cmptr ignorant · 07-06-2008, 07:59 PM

Is there something I should unistall before installing this?

Not that I can think of. It may replace a previous version of something. Why do you ask?

cmptr ignorant · 07-06-2008, 08:04 PM

When I look at the dell drivers on my computer it already has R155386.exe and I did not know if it would work with already being on the computer.

Techie.UK · 07-06-2008, 08:13 PM

Okay if you already have it don't worry. Try this instead

cmptr ignorant · 07-06-2008, 08:44 PM

That last one seems to have taken care of it. When I restarted my computer everything is working like it is suppose to. Thank you so much for all of you time and walking this computer ignorant person through it. Have a great week. Once again thank you.

Hi saambiswal and Welcome to TSF!

I will attempt to solve your networking issues.

Please check your wireless adapter is enabled.

You can do this by holding the windows button and 'r', entering ncpa.cpl, right-clicking the network adapter and select enable.

Also make sure you have the most up-to-date driver installed for the adapter which should be on Dell's support website.

Regards,

When I restarted my computer everything is working like it is suppose to. Thank you so much for all of you time and walking this computer ignorant person through it. Have a great week. Once again thank you.

I will attempt to solve your networking issues. Please check your wireless adapter is enabled. You can do this by holding the windows button and 'r', entering *ncpa.cpl, right-clicking the network adapter and select enable*. Also make sure you have the most up-to-date driver installed for the adapter which should be on Dell's support website. Regards, Techie.UK
