hi there
i have just reformatted my win 7 machine
my bluenext BN-WD54G Wireless USB Adaapter will not work (worked fine before and i did the same process)
i plug it in, installs the driver from the O.S., then says installed ready to use . yet when i enable the adapter it says enabling then enabled but the icon is says disabled and is still greyed out
device manger says its running properly , when i try and update the drive says best driver installed.
when i click troubleshoot says there maybe a problem with the driver
what should i do
many thanks

Uninstall the driver and remove .
Reboot install driver .
Plug Adapter in and it should now search for driver and install .
That fails try reboot with adaptor plugged in .
Next is to test the adaptor in another machine .

just run the troubleshooter and get this
Windows couldn't automatically bind the IP protocol stack to the network adapter.0 -
just tried the adapter on my win 7 laptop worked straightway installed the same driver as what on my win 7 desktop
on both machines device manager list the adapter as RT73 USB Wireless LAN Card0 -
One if using Kaspersky run a repair on it .
Type Cmd in the Start Search text box.
Press Ctrl-Shift-Enter keyboard shortcut to run a Command Prompt as an Administrator. Allow elevation.
Type netsh winsock reset in the Command Prompt , and then press the Enter key.
Do the same process for refreshing the TCP/IP just replace the typed command with.
netsh interface ipv4 reset
netsh interface ipv6 reset
Restart your Computer.
