Realtek RTL8139 yellow mark in device manager

[vmicovic]

Hello,

i add second NIC in PC and cannot setup him.
Driver successful installed but in device manager mark for that NIC is yellow.
On device status i got message: "this device cannot start. (Code 10).
I search over internet but nothing found.

Please help!


and yes, on resources tab on NIC i have message:
"This device isn`t using any resources because it has a problem"

The error codes you get are common when the device driver is not installed correctly or cannot initiate.

It would help to know what the exact hardware configuration is that you are attempting.

The Asus P5K-Deluxe motherboard has 2 LAN controllers. Are you trying to get them both to work?

Or are you adding a second PCI card to the machine? If so, what is the brand and model number?

hello TVeblen, thank you for quick reply!


I trying to install on another pc (not my private), the model is HP dx2400 micro tower and NIC have Id:
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8139&SUBSYS_00004000&REV_10

I download driver for that chip from realtek site but i got still this message.

Were you replacing a NIC - was there a NIC in the computer before?
If so, do you know the brand and model number?

Yes, you should either follow this thread to see what can be done, or start a new one. Otherwise the thread gets very confusing!

 

[vmicovic]

Nope, i just try to add new one.
I change 3 different NIC and no one wont work.

I leave realtek in PC to try to setup somehow ...

What I'm getting at is that if a network adapter (either on-board or add-on card) was installed previously it is a common problem that those old drivers, hardware ids, and hardware assignments are left in the registry even after removing the device. I have had network adapters that would not install until I manually when through the registry and deleted all the keys that contained the name of the network device.

To do that without problems you need to know the names of the devices you tried to install and the ones that were installed before. That HP has 4 Network drivers listed on the website, so it would be reasonable to assume that one of those was installed previously, unless this is one of your machines and you know exactly what was and was not installed.

You could use a program like DriverSweeper to remove the old remnants. But even then it it necessary to known the names of the devices you would want to remove.

i found in registry "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkCards" my 3 NIC,

1. NIC of my samsung tab (which is installed after i have problem with NIC)
2. integrated NIC (which work)
3. new NIC (which is problem)

and found on another part many NIC informations, have many some "Teefer2 miniport"


p.s: this problem show on beginning when i first try to add new card (did not have any before)

 

[TVeblen]

Are you running Symantec Antivirus?
What is Teefer2 Miniport #7 And is there a fix to the problem? - 3dGameMan: Kickass Forum

I cannot recommend deleting registry keys randomly. You need to know exactly what device you are looking for, then use the "Find" function to find all instances of the device.

 

[vmicovic]

yes, i am using.

But as i said, the problem start when i try to enter FIRST and ONLY one NIC, i did not success to activate.

do you believe that symantec corrupt some kind of my registry for adding new NIC ?

 

[TVeblen]

No. It is possible but I don't think that. I only linked to that page so you would not delete those keys if you had Symantec installed.

Only old NIC installation remnants would be a problem.
If there are none, then it would be an issue with the driver installation.

Some Network adapters require you to install the driver package first, then install the card in the PC. You should uninstall and then remove the NIC and then try and use System Restore to take you back to a point before you first tried to install any card. Then attempt to install the driver/card "fresh". Then do a System restore again after any failed attempt.

 

[vmicovic]

huh i was think on that to be my last option, but if no one don`t have any idea, i will try that.

Thank you for support.

This looks like you have 3 NICs installed.

If you want to ultimately have 2 NICs then you need to uninstall one of these. If the Samsung NIC is not installed (in Device Manager), that is the one you want to clean up from the registry.
