Network Adapters Not Working! HELP!
Hi I really need help,
Under device manager I have the yellow exclamation points and when I open up properties my network adapters' device status says, "This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)"
I have selected Upgrade Driver, allowing it to use the default drivers in my C:// drive, as well as downloading the drivers off the company website (with a different computer and transferring the files with a thumb drive) and installing them by selecting "Let me pick..." The end result is it says, "The parameter is incorrect"
I have used sfc /scannow in cmd
I have done a chkdsk /f in cmd
Gateway Laptop Model NV59
OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Network Adapter Atheros AR5B97 Wireless Adapter
Network Adapter Broadcom NetLink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet #3 (I don't know why is says #3)
I've spent hours searching, downloading, transferring, installing, uninstalling, back to searching and repeating. Please help me, I don't know what else to do. Is all lost? I don't want to have to buy a new laptop yet.
