 Posted: Wed, 29th Sep 2004 15:41 Post subject: Network adapters - Windows 2000 - stumped... |
|
 |
Got this laptop at work... it worked fine a few times, then on one random boot up it decided to add all these network adapter infrared ports.
Tried to uninstall them but I get this error "Failed to uninstall the device. The device may be required to boot up the computer."
Booted into safe mode to try and get rid of them and like 7 other network adapters added themselves to the list of shit.
There are no other network adapters physically attached, just the ethernet card.
These lame ass extra rogue adapters have hijacked my ethernet card and caused it to not work...
So, I have no clue on how to remove that extra random shit, because I keep getting that error "may be required to boot..."
Any ideas?

Make sure you check the bios for the disable option on these devices or let them install and then try to disable in device manager....... If you can disable them you should be able to reconfigure your Nic to work properly

I checked all the BIOS stuff I could find and nothing looked like it would prevent me from removing the wierd ethernet crap that added itself.
I am able to disable the new stuff, but even still when I boot I get IRQ conflicts, but I can't change any of it, because those other ones don't actually exist, I can't do anything to them.
With this conflict in place, I still am unable to get the NIC card workin'.
