"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory.(Code 38)" To restart the computer does not solve the whole problem. Microsoft should be ashamed to publish such incompetent advises.

Restarting solves the problem only in a tiny fraction of this error ocurrences. Usually there is a duplicate ocurrence of a device driver (or two devices when Windows supports only one) and one copy needs to be uninstalled.

Even with service pack 3. Can't believe Microsoft hasn't solved this. Restart my cp 5-6 times a day.

Not even close to a permanent fix. It's a band-aid that doesn't even work half the time.

It is not even a workaround. Tt does not work. And since the problemis with wifi the second "solution" is moot because you need to go on the internet. The problem is that I cannot get to the internet.

This is just a short term workaround and not a root cause fix. My problem keeps reoccurring
