    Atheros device driver Issues


    I have Windows 7 64 bit home edition and this unit performed flawlessly. I had issues with the security software and uninstalled it, which was a nightmare. After that when ever I boot the device driver will not install. This creates a very long boot up and then a slow computer for at least 20 minutes.

    When I boot up in safe mode it installs. I have had Microsoft support help in the past and the tech uninstalled the Atheros and tried another driver but that wasn't compatible. I am back to where I started. Also when you look at Atheros' device drivers they don't list my number for Windows 7, only Vista or earlier versions of Windows.

    How do I find out what is blocking the installation in normal mode?

    What is the make and model number of your computer?
    What does Device Manager show for the Atheros device on the Driver tab?

    I have a laptop ASUS K601. Atheros AR925
    When I boot up I think it's saying a different number, I'm not sure.
