Product Name and Number:

HP Pavilion Dv9700

s/n [Personal Information Removed]

p/n FE395UA#ABA

Operating System:

Windows Vista 64bit

Current Issue:

When I open my Device Manager there is an /!\ next to NVIDIA nforce 10/100 Mbps Ethernet.

When I open it's properties there is a message under the Device Status stating:

"This device cannot start. (Code 10)"

It gives me the option to "Search for solutions" which has proven unsuccessful.

Also, I have the latest driver installed.

Hi,

Right click the device itself and select Uninstall.  When this has completed, restart the notebook and let Windows re-discover the device and then check in Device Manager again.

Hi:

If uninstalling and letting the NIC card get rediscovered and the drivers installed doesn't work, I recommend you install the nForce chipset driver for your machine which contains the ethernet drivers and see if that gets it.
