Atheros ar5b97 wireless driver problem (Code 52)

[Annieluu]

So I've just reinstalled Windows 7 ultimate (64-bit) and I've tried to get all my drivers working and all however, the only driver that is still not working is the Atheros AR5B97 Wireless Driver. I have tried to install it many times however I get a message saying "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)" I would appreciate it alot if anyone could help me solve this problem. I've been stuck with this for weeks. Thanks

Hi there ... Welcome to Seven Forums .. Where did you get the Driver for the wireless card ? Also what is the Model Number of your computer

Have you tried Uninstalling the Driver and then the Card Reboot ?

Two things i can think of one it could be a corrupt download .. Two the Driver from the Asus site is not working this has happened in the past .. So I would try and download it again ..
