System Specs:
A couple of days ago I posted a BSOD report in the appropriate section (here) and was told it was my WiFi adapter so I uninstalled and reinstalled it.
(The driver was automatically reinstalled by windows update, but I also have a copy of the driver from HP which I installed afterwards.)
(One thing to note is that the date of the driver from before I uninstalled it, is different than the date of the current driver I have installed, even though before uninstalling I tried to update it and windows said everything was up to date. Sadly I don't remember the version number [of the previous driver] but I know it started with a nine.)
Now though, I can no longer connect to any network wirelessly. When I "diagnose the adapter" I get the following message(I underlined the part that seemed important):
Notice: I windows recognizes the adapter:
But it doesn't give any wireless conection options:
