So I have an m18x R2. I had to factory restore because I was having driver issues with my gpus. All went well. Now when I am reloading all my drivers, I reloaded the intel prosetwireless drivers for my card and it wont detect it. I ran the diagnostic and it gave me some weird error with the card. It was working fine before the factory restore with no issues. So I swapped back in my bigfoot 1103, and it was detected and worked fine immediately. Below is links to images of the errors and things I saw in the diagnoistic, and in the device manager. Any ideas?
Scrub the stock drivers that came with the restore. The Intel card should be able to run with built in Microsoft drivers. It should automatically detect the relevant drivers through Windows Update.
You can also try removing the trial versions of antivirus software included in the system restore image and changing the network settings from Public to Private or whatever is relevant.
Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
