slow down !! what happened when you uninstalled the wifi card and restarted the lappy?

Sorry.. not much. Got a message saying you are about to uninstall a programme then I uninstalled it. When I put it on again a blue screen error report came up and I had to boot the laptop up in safe mode. I then shut it down again in safe mode and restarted. I then went into device manager again and the wifi card thing was there again.

ok, in device manager, right-click on the wifi card, and click Update driver. if it asks you can it check on the 'net for one, do so.

if you right-click on the wifi card in device manager, click properties, what does it say about the device status??
