im getting very angry at the moment - i just want sum help
I have just installed a new router - which meant that my (very)old usb wlan adapter did not work - obviously we're dealing wiv computer equipment here!
Well, so to find outr if it really was the adapter i tried my dad's belkin wireless G usb adapter in my comp, that worked - however i had to install the belkin software as they obviously dont supply the drivers in a folder on the CD...
So all was well and i went to PC World to get myself a new USB wlan adapter... I found the same on - different packaging but the same one...
I take it home expecting that it would work staright away... I was unpleasantly surprised...
The newer one required another driver... so i uninstall the old software - install the new one, but NO! That did not solve the problem...
I went to the device manager and uninstalled the adapter, reinstalled it without the software (cos the new drivers were available on that CD)
But to no avail...
I went to the website, repeated the installation process but still the same error... --> The name is already in use as either a service name or a service display name.
Geezus i was thinking at this moment! well i finally came over here cos i rly need the help
Also - in device manager the device is called sumfin like "Belkin USB Wireless G Adapter #8"
I tried to uninstall the device again but this time it says that the device may be needed to boot up the PC so therefore it cannot uninstall the device....
