Hmmm...it's not on this laptop but it is on the upstairs PC. I think lol...

Hey...yesterday I remember somewhere with what I was doing seeing the words...Link-Layer Topology Discovery Mapper...I can't remember where it was but I think I remember telling you that I didn't see that anywhere in those directions...Well I had clicked on Admin Tools>Services>scrolled down some and saw this...saw that the startup was manual so I clicked on the left side Start the service...and I got a pop up window...Not sure if it means anything?

There are quite a lot of errors there .... You do have a few Options though ...

1 If you have Restore points might fix the issue ..

2 You could try a Repair Install ...


3 I could ask some one else to have a look at your log Files .. They would be probably be in a better position than me to resolve the issue with out doing any of the above ...

I'm so sorry...I kept refreshing the page waiting for your reply and there wasn't anything under my post so I'm waiting and waiting etc...and then I see there's a new page...UGH!!! When you refresh why doesn't it just take you to the next page if there is a new one...geesh...

I'm not quite sure how far back my restore points go? Or if they'd be any good if that makes sense lol...

I trust your thoughts on this so whatever you think is best you tell me...

No problem ... Have changed my mind ... Download the Driver from the Link below ..

Then Uninstall the old Driver and replace it with the one below ..

I do know it is an older Version .. Most of your problems are relating to the Driver though ...

Found it...but reading thru the instructions right after it explains how to check to see if you have that driver it says this...not sure what to do here I don't have that one

If a Wireless LAN adapter other than the Realtek RTL8191SE is in your computer, this driver should not be downloaded.

See if it will Install .. Where did you get the last Driver from ? ...
