    So my WLAN stopped working correctly, so I went to the intel site to update the driver... Well it was working until I shut down my computer. Now it doesn't recognize the the WLAN Card, and when I try to reinstall it, it ends up saying that it does not install correctly. I think I've isolated the issue to NETw3x32 since it says it cannot install that correctly. Does anyone have any suggestions to what I do? I've downloaded the drivers from sony, tried to reinstall the drivers via Vaio Support Central... I'm all out of ideas...

    Does anyone have any ideas? or can someone at least email me their NETw3x32 (it should be in C:/windows/system32/ I think...). My email address is my username @gmail.com.

    what does not recgonize your wireles card? Device Manager? Try Reseting the BIOS and See if the Found New Hardware Wizard Shows up. what happened when it stopped working? what was the orignal problem? Maybe try doing just a system restore?

    It recognizes the device in the device manager, and when I disable/uninstall the device then try to reinstall it, the reinstallation always runs into an error. The device is the recognized as the Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG Network connection, but it also has a yellow exclamation point (in properties it says "This Device is not properly configured Code 1"). I wanted to use system restore as a last resort and see if anyone here had any ideas, but it seems more likely that I will have to system restore...
