When I try to install the update, my computer freezes and I have to do a system restore to remove update to make it work. If I go through the Device Manager and the attempt to update the driver, it makes my pc unusable. I can't find anything about this on the HP website. HP has a patch for this network card?
It worked! I downloaded thedriver. Then uninstalled the current driver before installing the new driver. It took a little longer than I expected to install. I had a Windows security message indicating that Windows can't verify the Publisher of this driver. I chose to install this driver anyway. I guess this isn't a problem. I had to set up my internet connection and again security code. Thank you very much for your help!
