Getting error code 0x8007042c when trying to start windows firewall

What I did exactly was :
1. Right clicked on Atheros under Network Adapters in Device Manager
2. Selected "Update driver"
3. Manually pointed to the folder which had the atheros driver mentioned in post 38

It almost updated the driver but at the last moment gave the attached error in post 39

Cheers!!

Have already tried installing the driver mentioned in post 38

running out of patience

Its giving error dialog box and not getting installed.

My system is 64 bit, did u gimme 32 bit link?

Mr. Vista king,

R u kidding me?? Its the same file which I have already tried 10 times.

I think u have run out of ideas n just beating around the bush.

No offence meant but please tell me if you are unable to solve this issue.

Even I know that the those are the only drivers applicable for my machine since I too checked it using the
service tag. And had the h/w not being working properly, then how come I'm using internet on the same laptop
using ubuntu!!

Can you tell me the correct way to install drivers.

My internet access was fine few days back but I'm not sure what action of mine did this damage.

Of what I remember, I did a flash update but even after that the internet was working fine.

Then I downloaded a movie from bittorent using utorrent then when I re-started the laptop this problem occured,
so I'm just guessing that it must be due to some virus though I'm not sure.

Now let me know the next thing or else admit that you are at the end of your wits.

Sorry for being rude but I was not getting genuine resolution which I expected from sevenforums.
