That's the driver I posted on Post #28 . Have you tried restarting the PC ?
Yes, i always reboot after but still does not show.
This thing is not being recognized no matter what i do, i don't even think i need it.
The screen print in Post #30 is displaying the Device Description, not the Hardware IDs VistaKing asked for.
Click on Hardware Ids in the drop down list to display them.
I don't know if these questions were asked already, but if they haven't
Have you tried uninstalling the device in Device Manager, rebooting, and let Windows rediscover the device?
Could a faulty Centrino chip in the MB be causing this issue?
Would testing with a Linux OS help determine if there is a Hardware problem?
OK thanks, was not sure what that was or where to find them.
You might of already tried this but it's hard for me to tell.
Right click on the chosen hardware and select Update Driver.
Then select Browser my Computer.
Then select Let me Pick.
You might have more than one choice; pick one and select Next.
What makes you think you need to supply all of those drivers? That's XP-era installation procedure, not Win7.
Again, Win7 is driver-complete in the installer and once you get online to enable Automatically deliver drivers via Windows Update (Step 3) then run all rounds of Important and Optional Windows Updates to completion - when prompted for reboot, after it restarts go back to check for more Updates until there are none.
Then you only need to install the drivers which are still missing in Device Manager, from the Support Downloads webpage for your PC or device model - not an outdated disk or driver file.
If you didn't install your OS this way then you didn't do it correctly. We stopped needing to install a bunch of drivers into a fresh install after XP ten years ago.
I would start over and follow these steps to get and keep a perfect Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7.
This is the second time I wrote all of this out for you. Yesterday we had a case where I wrote it out four times and when the OP actually did it correctly was when his install problem was resolved after several days. Why is it so hard to understand?
