Need help with this one. I have found no solution on forums or support forums on the internet so far... I have Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit version; I recently purchased a Gigabyte Assassin G-1 motherboard with a built in Killer E2100 network chip. I installed this motherboard with Windows Internet Explorer 9 already installed, BUT I did not realise that the E2100 network chip and the drivers were such a pain.
After first installation of the board and drivers, IE 9 would bring up a box saying that it encountered a problem and needed to close.... After some problem finding, I discovered that the drivers for the network chip do not work with Internet Explorer 9. I tried to update the driver on Killer's website, but that backfired with a error message telling me that the new driver could not be installed because the old drivers were still in use,something like that,a whole lot of stupid rubbish.
I uninstalled the Internet Explorer 9 update and went back to Internet Explorer 8 and everything was working perfectly. So know I knew that the Bigfoot Killer chip was the problem because thats when all the problems started. I purchased an add in PCI-Express network card and installed that and I disabled the onboard E2100 network chip in the Bios. I then thought problems sorted, and went ahead and updated to Internet Explorer 9 again. SAME problem as in the beginning.
I then tried to uninstall the program,utility and driver for the E2100. That did not work either. After receiving various error codes ( I forgot the first 2 codes,but I managed to sort out those errors ), I tried to uninstall the program but some files still remained and I ended up with the last code that I received which was "1628: installation failed.
I went into "programs and files" and deleted the files but it gave an error saying that files were still in use. I opened task manager and closed the files that were in use and then I successfully deleted them, but error code 1628 was still there. I searched the hard drive for any remaining files of the Bigfoot Killer Manager, but it cannot find anything else. I went to control panel, programs and features and noticed that Bigfoot Killer Network Manager was still in the list.... Confused
The problem is so bad that it when I open the internet browser, it closes straight away with error as in the beginning. To post on this forum I reverted back to Internet explorer 8 and again everything is fine, BUT I can't remove that filthy stupid Bigfoot Killer Network problem and because of that, how do I get back to Internet Explorer 9? Please help. I know as much as I do so far by searching for solutions on forums,which din't help much. Please let me know if any other info is needed, because I don't think anything else is relevant?
