Help obtaining WIRELESS

LODD2 · 08-28-2009, 09:40 PM

So I took my Dell Vostro 410's network adapter. It is called Realtek RTL8168/8111 Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0) and put it in my new computer. However, the driver didn't install or did (im not sure) and it says that

This device cannot start. (Code 10)

Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.

I have no clue what it is, i tried to retstart my computer and it doesn't work.
I looked up the entire name of it Realtek RTL8168/8111, and FUNNY...the realtek site doesn't even have driver download but has all these old ones like the RTL8139 and bull...
What do I do? I am trying to get wireless on this computer but vista is fustrating as ****. I mean I even press the Check for Solutions button and it just says "searchs" and then moves a bar along and shuts down the little box, what other bull do i need to encounter from this troublesome piece of junk?
HELP!
