I was really hoping to not have to do a clean install, but unfortunately it's beginning to look that way. | My System Specs |

Well if all else fails and the Op system or registry is truely messed up than a system restore to before the problem occured should clear it up. Shouldn't need to do a clean install.
Although sfc/scannow command may also fix the problem if it's a file problem.

I tend to agree with aem and chev65. A clean may be your best bet as unappetizing as it sounds. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell C521 OS W7 Ultimate 64bit W7 Premium 64bit W7 Premium 32bit WXP Home 32bit CPU Athlon 64X2 5000+ Motherboard Dell Memory 4GB Graphics Card ATI X1300 Sound Card On Board Monitor(s) Displays Dell 19" Flat Screen Resolution 1280x1024 Mouse Microsoft Wireless Intellimouse Explorer 2.0 Hard Drives 500GB Western Digital Caviar Green Internet Speed SBC DSL - 6Mbps |

I'm really looking to avoid the clean install on this one. Also, here's a pic of all my adapters, would you be so kind as to tell me which ones I'd be safe deleting. Thanks. Don't ask as to why or how I have so many, I have no idea. Maybe this is the cause of my problem? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Asus G51VX OS Windows 7 Ultimate CPU Intel Core 2 Quad 2.0 |

Do you have Eset running on your machine? It could be causing these problem for you.
That Eset personal firewall could be a big problem. If you have Eset I would uninstall it. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home built OS Windows 7 Ult, Windows 8 Pro, CPU Q9650-4.275GHz, E8600 4.5GHz, E6750-3.8GHz Motherboard Evga 780i FTW Memory G.Skill PC2 9600 1200Mhz 5 5 5 15 2T Graphics Card GTX480 Sound Card Asus Xonar D2 Monitor(s) Displays HannsG Screen Resolution 1680X1050 Keyboard Logitech G15 Mouse Logitech G9 PSU ThermalTake Toughpower 1000Watt modular Case ThermalTake XaserV Cooling Xigmatek S1283 Hard Drives GSkill Phoenix Pro 120GB SSD Internet Speed T1 "Problem with the driver for Wireless Adapter" problems?
