    Repair Corrupted driver after new motherboard install


    So I changed to a new motherboard, and now having issues getting my wifi usb dongle to work.

    It installs fine but does not enable. When I diagnose it, it says "there might be a problem with the driver for the wireless network adapter".

    I assume windows is looking for it in the registry, but I guess some keys in there are pointing to the wrong place etc.

    I've tried about 15 programs cleaning and repairing the registry

    But it still didn't fix it, is there a way to totally remove all traces of it from the registry and remove all driver files?
    How do I clean or repair it - without having to do a system repair?

    Did you clean install the OS when replacing the motherboard? If not do so.
