Solved: Wireless Adapter Problem

I've just wiped my sisters laptop clean and reinstalled windows again. The laptop is a IBM T40, so I went to the IBM (lenovo) site to download all the relevant drivers. Everything installed correctly apart from the Wireless.

The drivers are downloaded were 'Cisco' ones that were for the model and I installed them the way it said in the instructions. The adapter actually installed but then when I go to connect to my router it try's to establish a connection then comes up with and error. I tried right clicking and repair, but then it comes up with "make sure the network adapter is installed properly", and then crashes.

This is the second time I've installed all the drivers again and the first time I did it, it worked fine. I just don't understand why it won't this time.


Thank You!

 

Download and install the program "Uniblue DriverScanner", what it does is scan your drives and checks what's out of date and such. And from the program you can download and install drivers. Unfortunately you have to pay for the program for the full version which I think allows you to download the driver.

So google the program, and see how it works out.

Hope it helps!

 

It's the 'Cisco Wireless LAN Mini PCI adapter'

 

And can anyone help me, that doesn't involve me paying out lol

 

That may just be it Thanks for you help

 

It might be possible that this time there is no tuning between your OS and the driver, either reinstall everything or uninstall n/w adapter and then reinstall it, i think this time it will work

How do I completely uninstall the wireless adapter and chipset? so that I can install them in the correct order this time round lol

 

Tried it, still the same

 

No it's definitely the right drivers. I got them off the site for the right model and I've used the drivers before.

It just says make sure the it's installed properly.

 

Ok thanks. How do I run a disk check? lol
