Need a bit of help here.
-
right the BSOD was ironically being caused by a Belkin driver that was out of date. Which i now can't remove at all... for some reason :/ any suggestions?
-
-
Have you tried both Uninstall Driver on the Update Driver tab in Device Manager, and Uninstall in Control Panel>Programs and Features.
Do you have a restore point before the Belkin was installed?
What happens when you try to update the wireless driver by either installing a newer or correct driver, or reinstalling the one you have if it is correct?
-
I used safe mode to remove it. And updating it doesn't work since the latest drivers were for XP.

You may try Phyxion.net - Driver Sweeper to see if it will do the job for you. Then go to device manager from Control Panel and click on the Scan for new Hardware icon.
-
If you had it installed correctly before it would be worth reinstalling it one more time to try it just like you did before, or in XP Compat Mode.
-
I will give it a go. and if it causes a BSOD ill uninstall it again. Ive tried using my N adapter and its came up with some Realtek drivers for it (which is wrong but oh well) though they are installed properly it gives a Error Code 10 cannot start message.

-
Nah. Just got BSOD again... No idea why though.
-
If the wrong drivers are installed, google the exact adapter make/model to get the latest drivers.
You can trace the make/model if it's not evident using this: Hardware Identification
-
No matches found for the device (it's literally like the adapters ****ed itself up.)
-
Try it in another machine to see if it works.
What do you mean by "matches?"
What is the exact make/model?
