the office i work at has a wireless network that i've been trying to join but no luck so far.
i just installed a wifi-g card by linksys in my lappy running xp pro. after the install, in device mgr, the icons for the wifi card all have exclamation points. when i click on any of them, the status says "cannot laod the device driver. driver may be corrupted or missing". i installed the drivers straight from the linksys cd.
then i noticed a bunch of other network adapter items installed that i don't have. the network guy there said that i may need to get rid of those b/c the lappy may be confused w/ all the other nework adapters installed. so, i try uninstalling them and they won't totally uninstall. they just become 'disabled' and have the red X over the icon. the one's listed are "direct parallel" and 5 different "WAN Miniports".
bwt, i'm using dell inspiron 7500.
anyone run into this before? how do i get rid of those totally? what do i do about the drivers?
