BSOD "NDIS.sys" IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL > MS Virtual Wifi Miniport
Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me with a recent problem I ran into. My wifi router broke down and I thought as a workaround, use my laptop as a temporary wifi hotspot until I can purchase a new one. I was able to share my LAN connection but cannot pass the Internet access thru my ad-hoc. I found out that I need to enable the MS Virtual Wifi Miniport to be able to accomplish that. The BSOD happened right after enabling that adapter. I tried rebooting into safe mode where I disabled both my wifi adapter and the miniport. Re-installed the wifi adapter but BSOD recurred when I try to enable the miniport. Any suggestions?
EDIT: I have posted an updated file. Apparently, the process took some time and not all files were present upon posting. My bad. |
