CopperLan

So,
-> check that you installed the latest NVidia drivers
-> try a Windows repair

By the way, just to check if the protocol driver is installed, can you select the WIFI interface from the CopperLan Manager settings panel? or can you verify if the "CopperLan over Ethernet Protocol Driver" is available and checked for the WIFI interface?

I guess its a bust:

Theres no protocol available in the WiFi properties box.
The WiFi isn't available in Copperlans settings panel

Thanks for all the help. I'll keep looking for a solution as best I can.

HAHAHAHAHHA!!!! GOT IT WORKING!!!!

"All" I had to do was go into the registry. Very simple modification. For future reference to others;

Regedit or Equivalent, and go to:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion :

There is a file named "DevicePath" and the value is "%SystemRoot%\inf". The "TYPE" on my computer when it wasn't working was REG_SZ.

This must be changed to "REG_EXPAND_SZ". So I just deleted the original "DevicePath" and replaced it with "Expandable String Value" from the right click option, input the same value and presto!! WIKID!!

Great news!

Many thanks for the feedback and solution

Enjoy it!
