for a few months my wireless network card has been working fine. sometimes i had to take out the card and put it back in if i was having problems...but no big deal. today, i unplugged the card and put it back in..but the network connection icon didnt appear in the icon tray....and also the lights on the network card would turn off. I check the cards properties. Error 10 will not start. OK, so i unistall the drivers and reinstall. Error 10. i do this several times. Then i decide maybe i should restore to factory settings. i do it...install the drivers again...Error 10..can anyone help?

DRIVER error codes:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q125/1/74.asp

Code 10
If the device has a "FailReasonString" value in its hardware key, that string is displayed as
the error message. The driver or enumerator places this registry string value there. If there
is no "FailReasonString" in the hardware key, the following generic error message is displayed:
This device is either not present, not working properly, or does not have all the drivers
installed. (Code 10)

Try upgrading the device drivers for this device. To resolve this error code, make sure the
device is connected to the computer correctly. For example, make sure all cables are plugged
in fully and that all adapter cards are properly seated. Follow the suggested solution button
and update the device driver. It may be possible to remove the device and redetect it using
the Add New Hardware wizard.
