Wireless problems - Code 10.

Apr 19, 2008 0 Replies

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:

I have no idea what to do. I used the Troubleshooting tag in Device Manager but that doesn=92t 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 =96 your help is much appreciated.
