Wireless adapter is missing. Now under 'other devices '.

Hello

I'm running Windows 7 on a Dell Latitude E6420. My wireless adapter is missing. The only way you can find it is through the device and then Manager, it appears as 'Other devices' - 'Network controller' with a yellow sign - Code 28. I tried to have the driver update system - he finds nothing. I also downloaded newer versions of Intel and Dell - nothing. If I force it to do manually (I would locate etc) then I get a blue screen.
I started the computer off a Linux LiveCD and the wireless adapter works flawlessly.
I ran out of laps. Would appreciate any help on what to do (short of reinstalling Windows, I really want to get to the bottom of it without it).
Thank you very much.

Hi JoqngclyE0,

Thanks for your reply. In my case, it's different. If you read my original post, I say that I tried to start up with a Linux LiveCD and it resumed instantly wireless card. It is clear to me that this is a Windows problem.

Please keep in mind that my computer is a Dell, so nothing to do with these HP problems. I'm sure reinstall would fix things, but there is no guarantee that the problem will not happen and I don't want to have to reinstall on the one hand, and on others I like to think I'm rational and I understand why things happen.

No help from anyone, really appreciated.

Thank you

Arturo

    Why not Time Capsule shows under "other devices" in the Finder on my MAC?

    "Devices" are connected directly to a Mac and would include things like USB hard drive, FireWire drive and Thunderbolt drive, etc.

    The Capsule is a "network" connected to a network drive... If the operating system on your Mac behave, Time Capsule will appear in the Shared section.

  • Minor problem with the New Installation of Windows 7 on my Inspiron E1705/9400 - two entries for "Base system device" under "Other devices" with yellow exclamation point

    Hello

    First of all, let me tell you about my system.   It is of a laptop Inspiron E1705/9400 with the Core 2 Duo T7400 processor clocked at 2.16 GHZ.   It has 2 GB of RAM and a hard drive on the Hitachi Travelstar nine 500 GB (7200 RPM).   It also has the GeForce Go 7900 GS video card.    Previously, it had Windows XP Professional (32 bit) and worked well.   But, I have three computers in my home and Home Office and would they work better together on my wired home network, so I'm upgrading all three to Windows 7.   My two desktops (a Dimension XPS 420 and the other Dimension XPS 430) seem like they will be no problem to upgrade to Windows 7.   But, this laptop was not on the list of Dell Windows 7 compatibility.   However, the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor that I have downloaded and run seemed to say that it was OK to do a clean install of Windows 7 32-bit and he had only a few minor issues, where it says search the drivers updated from the manufacturer.   Initially, the laptop came with a 100 GB hard drive.   For my use, which becomes very small, so I decided to get the exact same 7200 RPM drive 500 GB size.   This will allow me to do a clean install of the 32 bit Windows 7 OS on the new hard drive and not have to wipe the old disk to do so.   I can just keep the old HD and paste it back whenever I need to get something out of it.

    So, here's my minor problem.   After the transfer of some elements off the coast of the old hard drive, I installed the new 500 GB drive and installed a cleaning of the 32-bit version of Windows 7.    I'm happy to announce that I have not had virtually no problems with installation and everything seems to work fine.   He seems a little more zippy than before and I have not met so far that doesn't seem to work.   I went through most of features and almost everything is superb.   But there is a minor problem, showing in Device Manager.   At least, I think it's a minor problem, but maybe someone can give me feedback to know if she is or not.

    In the Device Manager list, there is a category called "other devices" now and the icon shows a little white circle with an exclamation mark.    When you expand this category, you see two identical entries that say "Base system device" and the icon has a yellow circle with an exclamation mark inside.     I know from experience that it is not a good thing to see items in the device manager that have a yellow circle with an exclamation point.   I clicked on both of them and neither one really tells you what the device is, or who did what is site you would go to a driver.    On the general tab, it has the following information:

    -Device type Other devices

    Reference of the manufacturer- Unknown

                         Location     -         Bus PCI 3, device 1, function 3


    Under device status, it says the following:

                           The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)

    There is no driver selected for the item or a set of device information

    To find a driver for this device, click Update driver.

    Each of the entries seem to be almost the same thing... but not exactly.   The other has the location

    list PCI Bus 3, device 1, function 2... instead of function 1.   This seems to be the only difference.

    I tried the button to update the driver, but that doesn't seem to work.   No matter if you say it looks like your

    computer or to look for a new driver from the internet, it does not find anything.     As I said at the beginning,

    the system seems to work very well... but, given that I don't know what this device is or does, I might be missing something.

    He drives me crazy just have these yellow circles with exclamation point hanging out in my device manager.

    I could really use some help here.    Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    BTW, I just downloaded and installed the driver pack from this ftp location and it worked, even for Windows 8.1 - 64 bit.

  • Wireless adapter suddenly lost, disappeared from the Device Manager. How to prevent this?

    Hey :)

    Ive looked all over the internet, but still nothing quite similar to this...
    -Asus PC V551LB-CJ093H
    -Windows 8
    -Wireless network adapter: Intel Dual Band Wireless-N 7260
    The problem is: laptop suddenly loses wireless wireless adapter because suddenly friggin disappears from the Device Manager, as did not exist. Only the wired network adapter still works and all things Bluetooth. The only way to resurrect from the dead is to restart my laptop. But I don't like this solution X_x. How can I stop my laptop disconnect my wireless connection?
    What I've tried:
    Auto-updated the driver from Device Manager
    -' Find the hardware changes' on Device Manager
    -Disable "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" the power of the device management
    The only thing that has worked now:
    -Restart the laptop.
    Thank you very much for your help :D

    Thanks a lot :) I've manually updated the drivers from the manufacturer's website (intel), and the problem ceased to occur. I will you update if anything... Thanks again.

  • Windows 8 - device Base system under other devices

    Hello

    I just upgraded my cpu from 3930 k to 4930 k on a rampage IV Extreme.  By getting the system running again, I have at least 20 "Base System Devices" in the other devices section, with a yellow question mark.  I installed all Asus drivers again, but items still remain.  Could someone tell me they came and how to solve them.  Thank you.

    Thank you for your reply Ben.  I checked with the card mother Mfg and they had me to re - install the bios that did not work.  I decided to try to remove the 'Base system devices"that the computer was working well, even if they were all marked with yellow exclamation points.  There are 32 Articles, I deleted all the and the system works fine now.  I don't know what caused them to appear, as he must have had something to do with upgrading the processor, but at least the issue is resolved.

    Thanks again for your quick response,

  • NETGEAR wireless adapter connects to a network other than mine.

    I started using a NETGEAR wireless adapter and it worked very well, always connect to my NETGEAR network. Then a few days later he began connecting to the default profile for the Native WIFI instead of NETGEAR. This part of the Windows 7 operating system, or someone is hack my wireless connection? How can I get rid of him? I reconnect to my network, but it reconnects to the Native WIFI default profile. Any help or info is greatly appreciated.

    original title: Native WIFI by default profile

    Radron,

    "Native WIFI" usually refers to a Windows SDK API and it is more likely that it is a programming error that someone hack into your system.

    I begin by visiting the site Web of Netgear, enter the model number of your wireless adapter and install the latest drivers for Windows 7:
    http://KB.NETGEAR.com/app/

    I'm fairly certain that updating the drivers will solve this problem. If not, switch to update the firmware on your router.

    I hope this helps!

  • Multiple Copies of the printer under other devices

    I use Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit on an HP desktop with a wireless HP printer.  I found hundreds of copies of the printer in the device (see below) Manager.  I was not able to remove an any of them, even if logged on as administrator.  Any ideas?  Thank you

    Hello renewed,

    Thanks for posting your question on the Forum of the Microsoft community.

    I would be grateful if you can provide us with the following information to help us better understand the issue.

    1. Did you of recent changes (hardware or software) on your computer?
    2. You have references to the same printer or different printers in the Device Manager list?
    3. How you try to delete the printers?

    Try the following steps to remove the printer.

    1. Right click on desktop, create a new shortcut with the target under 'cmd.exe'.
    2. Right-click on the shortcut, 'run as administrator'
    3. Run the printui tool: printui/s/T2
    4. Try to remove printers. If this does not work...
    5. Click Start > run > Services.msc
    6. Locate the Print Spooler serviceand right click > Properties > stop him.
    7. Open my computer and go to C:\Windows\System32\spool\Printers (you need to clickOK'to go to the folder).
    8. DELETE the contents of this folder.
    9. Restart it service print spooler.
    10. Go back into printui utillity (you may need to restart using the same method as above) and try to delete printers again. This time it should work. If necessary, see the "Ports" tab and delete all TCP/IP ports that are associated with the old printer.

    Finally and above all, check other computers on your home network to see if one of these map to the old printer and remove these mappings.

    Hope it would help. If the problem persists always post back with answers to the question, the current state of your computer and the result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to help you.

    Thank you.

  • Officejey 8620e Pro: Officejet Pro 8620 connect wireless but not visible by any other device of

    Printer was fine for 9 months.  That is, Apple devices could print using AirPrint.  Computers laptops MacBook Pro and Windows 8 were also very good.  But now printer is not visible by any device when trying to print / set up a printer.  Finally managed to do work with a USB cable, but it's not practical for all members of the family.  Have you tried:

    Full power reset

    Reset wifi

    Updated drivers

    Recycled all devices that are used to be able to see the printer.

    To confirm, the printer says that it is connected to the wifi & AirPrint and wakes up when the control panel is touched.

    Thanks in advance

    They should take care of the issue of the serial port.

    You should have a PCI-e x 16 low-profile video card slot. Look so around the one that has the features you want at an acceptable price. Make sure that it is compatible with Windows 7, 64-bit and has the right, use the output video for what you watch.
