As titled really.
Tried uninstalling/reinstalling all the various drivers etc etc. Changing the USB socket it was plugged into.
Also tried:
Go to Control Panel > System > Device Manager > Network Devices
Uninstall the driver for your wireless card
If your card also has software installed, go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and uninstall that software
Shutdown your computer
Remove the wireless card
Click Start > Run and type Regedit
Locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Enum > PCI
Right click on the PCI folder and choose Permissions
Change the permissions somehow. I selected Everyone and gave that group Full Access.
Reinstall the software and/or drivers for your card
Shutdown your computer
Put your card back in
Reboot your computer
And then later, when I realised that this was for PCI cards, and I have a USB, then I just made the SYSTEM folder Full Access for everyone. Still no luck.
I understand that the problem is something to do with the computer not being able to provide enough power/having conflicts with the various ports. But I don't see how that can be the case for USB. Moreover the dongle has worked perfectly fine for months (I have to use it when I'm at home, and don't use it when at university), and now I've had this problem since coming back for the Easter break today. It doesn't make much sense and it's annoying me immensely.
Any help with how to sort this rubbish out would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
