Thanks for replying back , much appriecated!
Right, i went into Device Manager, the problem is listed under 'other devices' location PCI bus 8 , device 1 , function 0. ....not much help i guess, so i downloaded Unknown device idenitifier to help
'Unknown Device Identifer' stated " @system32/DRIVERS/pci.sys#512,Ethernet Controller (UNKNOWN DEVICE)
Sub bar below it was " Chip: Atheros Communications AR5212 802 .11 a/b/g Wireless Network Adapter
Is it worth stating that i have Realtek PCIe GBE family controller
Im not sure it that helps at all but its the best i can do
Torrent and any others viewing, any help you can offer would be awesome, as i need to get on with Uni assignment asap , it was all working fine on vista until i changed
Cheers man !
