It says "This device is either not present, not working properly or does not have all the drivers installed". And when i click on the reinstalled the driver, it says " unable to locate the software for this device".

You said you downloaded drivers for the card.

Are you browsing to the folder where you downloaded them and if they were zipped did you unzip them?

If the drivers are not where Windows expects them then Windows is not going to find them without your help.

yeah, if they are zipped you need to unzip them...I usually just make a folder for them and unzip them there but if you just unzip them they will have a default folder made..usually "c:\unzipped\blah blah"

so unzip them to the folder...then try the driver update and try to point it to that folder.

-----

on occasion they will "unzip and install" at the same time but thats nothing for you to worry about cuz if thats how they are designed to work then it will just do so automatically.

"tried everything"....

does that mean you had a zip file and you unzipped it?

Tell us exactly what you tried and maybe we can help you soem more.

If you unzipped the file to a folder..and then you look in the folder..do you see a file named "setup.exe" ? If so, click it and see what happens...
