Ah - I see what the problem is....
The driver itself has been mostly removed, but the service is present.

This won't be as easy to fix - first I have to work out exactly how to access the registry keys involved, or how ro force the driver to reinstall properly.

Please run the following commands and post the results..

Code:

 
 REG QUERY HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\components\DerivedData\Components\x86_microsoft-windows-null_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_a93c43a07c50a038

 .

I have no clue what happened with that last post I guess because I didn't skip a line it screwed it up. Here it is again.
The bride is calling me to dinner. She says i can eat dinner with the family tonite or the neighbors dog. The neighbors dog is outside and it's snowing here. Guess I eat with the family. LOL

Take your time, I'm on my second dinner call and I don't intend to watch the neighbors dog get mine. LOL

I'm off to bed now - I think I see what's happened (have you been using a registry cleaner? - ever??)

That's caused by the forum's background software interpreting the colon-open-parenthesis as a smiley - if you use the Advanced posting option you get the option to turn smileys off (don't bother - I can read/work around them :))

I didn't notice last night - but you didn't copy the whole of the second line, with the result that it was looking for a key that never exists anyhow.
Please try again (tip - I inserted extra lines including a period(.) if you copy everything including the period, it ensures that the commands complete properly.)

I don't think the hive is loaded, so that could be why it can't find those keys. Let's try this

Command Prompt

Warning: this fix is specific to the user in this thread. No one else should follow these instructions as it may cause more harm than good. If you are after assistance, please start a thread of your own.

1. Click on the Start button and in the search box, type Command Prompt
2. When you see Command Prompt on the list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator
3. When command prompt opens, copy and paste the following commands into it, press enter after each
   
   REG LOAD HKLM\components %windir%\system32\config\components
   REG QUERY HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\components\DerivedData\Components\x86_microsoft-windows-null_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_a93c43a07c50a038
   REG QUERY "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\components\DerivedData\VersionedIndex\6.1.7600.16385 (win7_rtm.090713-1255)\ComponentFamilies\x86_microsoft-windows-null_31bf3856ad364e35_none_71dd21ed13d9b8db"
   
   
   
   Note: There are only 3 commands there, all beginning with REG. The fourth line is just part of the third command so make sure you copy the right bit!
   
4. Right-click on the Command Prompt window and click Select All, this will invert all of the colours by selecting the text, now press enter. All of this text is now copied.
5. Paste (Ctrl+V) it into your next post please.
