Cannot get wireless NIC to start, Code 10 ? in device manager

mazza7282 · 20 Mar 2007 at 14:51

I Have one of these Elonex Lumina machines here, and all of a sudden the wireless device stopped initialising.
I would put this in the networking issue, although its more of a hardware thing at the moment.

I have reinstalled the drivers with still no joy, tried to force the driver, searched the internet manually, and also asked windows to do it.
Windows XP MCE knows the device is there, and what it is, it comes up sauing that its a asus wireless device, and attempts to install, wacks the drivers on and then cannot start (code 10)

What is that usually releated to ? i've removed all usb devices that arent nessasarya and tried to eliminate any conflicts but still no joy

Please help

IRQ conflict perhaps?

I could try and change it yea, I found out what code 10 is, although the microsoft web site doesnt help me at all to be honest.

isuspect its to do with the drivers are you using the correct drivers, i have had this in the past where i have acidently installed the incorect driver, ie a wrong verion number some cards are tightly numbered its easy to do, and never use windows to get your drivers, this can happen when using windows drivers , ie the ones form windows updates, sometimes it incorectly identifies the wrong drivers for the hardware.
hope it helps
