Hi,

No problem....did you download and install the driver?

Your issue is drivers, I suspect a reinstall will not solve, but no harm trying, your last three crashes are Wireless related.

Uninstall:

Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 5000 Series Adapter Driver for Windows Vista 64 Bit (incorrect driver)


Install:

Qualcomm Atheros WLAN Driver (Driver) 74.16Mb zip

And that should resolve those 3 crashes.


Cheers

Hi and they are your problem methinks

Thanks for the feed back,

all your drivers, ethernet, network controller etc are on the website i gave you previously.

You need to download those and install and then reboot, (did your computer not come with a drivers disc?)


Re-check device manager and re post result

Cheers

peally, When the chipset drivers are installed you should be able to connect to the internet using ethernet , Then we need to find out which version of wireless card is in your laptop

Hi,


Drivers can be tricky....Ive chased many a pea around the plate in the past.

Reboot after Chipset drivers installed and re-check Device Manager and re-post back findings

cheers

Have the chipset drivers successfully installed and it is the other drivers that will not update ,or have the chipset drivers not installed correctly?

 

[peally]

it has done chipset drivers but will not install others
