Is there anything I can do to fix this? The network adapter works just fine on my laptop, although with the same speed problem, but that's an entirely different thing to worry about of course. I'm completely out of ideas and I really just want this to work at this point. Adding back the system32 drivers file (no change) Going to Driver Details, locating the pre-installed driver in the drivers folder of system32, and removing it (yes, I know, bad idea) and restarting ( same results, and it still says I have the best driver software available if I try to "update" the software" and installing the drivers from Realtek with the installer still has no effect) Selecting "update driver software" and choosing the TP-Link drivers (states the best drivers are already installed) Re-installing the generic drivers from Realtek with their included installer (no change) (Code 39) Object Name not found." This is what I've tried so far: In Device Manager there is a yellow triangle, and under its properties it says "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. Anyways, still trying to fix the speed problems, after rebooting my computer my computer will not correctly recognise the adapter. I tried installing the generic drivers for the chipset in it as others suggested to fix these errors, but couldn't fix the issue.

I had some troubles with the speeds of the adapter, but overall it worked. I recently purchased the TP-Link TL-WN822N USB wireless adapter.

UPDATE: This problem has been solved (see next post)
