Im running a Gateway MX6211b laptop with XP Home edition, my problem is i cant get the drivers to install for the wireless lan mini card ( broadcom 802.11 multiband).
Driver installation reports "error code 31 windows was unable to load drivers"Iv tried the uninstall/reinstall method. Also, i have the latest drivers from the manufacturers site. All windows updates have been d/l and applied. Im not sure if this is relevent but in the bios there is an entry .... Wireless Lan....[restore] (which is greyed out). Do i or can i enable this. Bios ver 77.09. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello scooby000 and welcome to TSF!

For the error code, pls. try this resolution from Microsoft, if it didn't work, let me know. The example of this link is pointing to the resolution of a Modem adapter, pls choose the Network Adapter and ignore the Modem. Let us not do anything yet with the Bios.
