    Hi all,

    Today ( 6 minutes ago) i installed a killer 1103 card upgrading from my dell 1501 n card in hopes to use the dual band in the killer. the install of the hardware and drivers went flawlessly and everything seems to be working except for one thing. when i try to open the qualcomm atheros killer network manager a status comes up in the bottom right that looks like this.

    It says that the application is bad but the connection is good. im connected to the internet on 2.4 ghz which isnt bad but the whole point of purchasing the card was to run 5ghz. any help is appreciated.
    thank you in advance,
    Alex

    littleone562 has a good point, I think that you should try the latest driver from the manufacturer. Give that a try and let us know.

    EDIT: okay so i downloaded the new application and driver set after uninstalling the program and previous drivers and i am still getting the above picture. Any other thoughts? I tried running as an administrator but no luck. this is really stumping me

    for reference

    I am running
    Alienware m17x r3 Bios version a08 on Windows 7 home premium 64bit.
