having driver trouble, please help.
Ok, my computer was working incredibly fine until my friend came over and
accidently spilt soda on my front 2 usb ports. i quickly removed my wireless internet card and dryed it off. after that i cleaned out the usb's and everything else that was effected after shuting the system down. then i let them dry. i put my usb adapter (or wireless card) back in and windows said unknown device installing drivers. then it installed them and said i could use it. i thought what? it was already installed. so i used my back usb ports for the internet but... now my computer decides to spontaniously restart. i asked windows they said it was a driver error. i uninstalled my internet card and reinstalled and it is still doing it i do not know what to do to fix this problem but my computer still restarts at random moments sometimes. mostly on shutdown. it is realy starting to worry me. please any one i need help. |

Ok, my computer was working incredibly fine until my friend came over and accidently spilt soda on my front 2 usb ports. Unplug those front two USB ports from the mobo (be careful to eyeball how the leads go back; Red, White, Green, Black, like the Italian flag on a black flag pole, sort-of). If better, dig there. Firewall on? If not, and if pre-SP2, then you'd be swarming with bots by now - they seem to outnumber the original Lovesan, LSASS etc. and they use the same old holes to get in. ------------------------ ---- --- -- - - - - Forget http://cquirke.blogspot.com and check out a better one at http://topicdrift.blogspot.com instead! ------------------------ ---- --- -- - - - - |

yes yes. the usb's are unplugged but the problem i have still contains that
driver i installed. when i put the device in the malfunctioning usb it said unknown device installing drivers. after it was done it said device may have encountered problems try again. and then ever since then i have been using the back usb's for the device. but i still get the serious error saying that it was caused by a driver i installed. then it said my computer will spontaniously restart as one of the effects. it doesnt restart alot. usualy only during shutdown. im thinking i should just recover my system and re install everything. i have tried restore point. didnt help. and i cannot rollback the drivers because when the system's usb malfuctioned it found a unkown device not my wireless internet.
