Wireless problems with EasyNote.
Hi,
I am using a Packard Bell EasyNote laptop with XP. For some reason, when I checked my Network connections (in Control Panel), the wireless network option has disappeared. I then checked Device Manager and it is listed as Intel Pro Wireless 2200 BG but there is a problem: This device cannot start. (Code 10). I have uninstalled and re-installed the drivers both from Windows and from the Intel website and re-booted to no avail. This is what I downloaded from Intel: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/down...4/eng/10.5.3.0... I have no idea what to do. I used the Troubleshooting tag in Device Manager but that doesn’t help. One suggestion was to disable wireless in the BIOS then uninstall the drivers in Control Panel, then re-enable the BIOS and install the drivers in Control Panel; however BIOS does not give me this option. If I uinstall the drivers then reboot, XP automatically installs the wireless drivers again, but you get the "exclaimation mark" indicator in Devices that there is a problem. Any ideas? Thanks – your help is much appreciated. |

Thanks – your help is much appreciated. Are you connecting through a wireless router? I have found with my Linksys router with the Security feature that sometimes when I try to log on I get an error message. I have found that all that is needed is to unplug the router and then wait a few minutes and plug back in. My lap top then finds the connection all on its own. That would be a first step. I hope I helped? Elector |

But I don't think that is the issue since it would not affect the drivers. |

It worked then it did not work It is either hardware or software related. If it is hardware then you are out of luck If it is software than this group may be able to help When you see it under device manager Right click properties Then details --what does it say Do it again again and pick driver driver details-what does it say Driver again try rolling back driver If all else fails then you can do a complete reinstall of OS If this failes I can almost guarantee it is a hardware problem |
