Installing driver (i.e. how force install!) Tried everything
Hey guys I am on windows 7 (home prem so cant do the group fix), atheros AR9285 802.11b/g/n and trying to install a different driver for it (net card)
Everytime i try to install the driver windows says they have the most up to date one and i cant force install. I have spent hours reading and have manually selected windows updates. I have backed up drivers and uninstalled the driver and tried to install but windows seems to find a way of getting the old driver.
I have also installed programs to override windows verification of drivers etc.... tried a lot and spent hours!! I have searched threads here and elsewhere and tried all people say but still windows thinks it is helpful...
Does any one have experience in how to do this as it is driving me insane!
Endlessly going on tangents to do something i thought would be simple and a bit of intellectual curiousity!
thanks a lot in advance!
