Missing Wireless Network after uninstall

Hi,

I seem to have a problem here. I tried uninstalling ESET Smart Secirity 4.0 from my machine. But, when I rebooted, my laptop simply wouldn't show a wireless network connection on the taskbar. I still had the Wireless Network Connection in the Network Connections window. I tried toggling the WNC to see if that would solve the problem...it didn't. I did a System Restore, but that too didn't help. Finally the only way to get the wireless connection back was by reinstalling ESET Smart Security. My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit. Any ideas?

Thank you, Cudni. I did a search on "missing wireless network" before posting, but didn't see anything. Appreciate your pointing me in the right direction.

 

Hi,so sorry to hear that.I am still facing the problem today and ESET customer support failed to solve my issue too.My conclusion is this is a tough issue and probably no solution for it.The only way is reinstall your OS probably will help you to solve it(Just a suggestion don't be too serious to reinstall your OS)

 

Have you tried removing the NIC driver and rebooting the computer so that Windows reinstalls it automatically?

 

Hi,Marcos.After removed the NIC driver and rebooting the computer,my WIFI ISSUE FIXED.Thanks once again.I am very happy now.Finally,I have some off topic question.Alright,last week I was installed the new Windows 7 SP1 update that distributed by Microsoft.But after the installation,my HDD LED keep on blinking and my physical memory is not "Free" (this word can be found on Windows Task Manager)anymore.It keep going down to "0".When I disabled Superfetch,everything seemed to be normal.But did you recommend me to disable Superfetch anyway?

 

No, Marcos, haven't tried that. How do I remove the NIC drivers, from Device Manager?

 

Exactly

 

Thank you! Uninstalling the NIC driver, and restarting fixed the problem.
