My PC knowledge it pretty shallow so please bear with me....
I have moved my old domestic PC to a new room, where the wireless connection is poor, so I bought an Intel (R) Pro/1000 GT Desktop Adapter, and have connected this to a TP Link powerline ethernet.
I know the powerline connection works as my works PC connects with no issues .
The problem seems to be with the network card -Windows says latest drivers are installed, but in Device Manager the adapter icon shows a yellow triangle
the properties windows says:
Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)
{Bad Image}
%hs is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. Error status 0x
I've also followed the steps on here:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...1f7-6a3b-65a6-4d78-7f07eee84d2c#1TC=windows-8
but this didn't help,
in Command Prompt, the response to
"ipconfig/release"
was
"no operation can be performed on Ethernet while it has its media diconnected"
I'm assuming this is an issue with the drivers, since the card itself has been checked (?)
but happy to take any advice on offer!
Thanks.
