Have you tried Safe Mode?
Right clicking the Realtek driver file, and selecting "Run as Administrator'?
Did you delete the Realtek adapter in Device Manager ***check the box to delete
driver files***, and delete the Realtek drivers in Control Panel > Programs and
Features?
REBOOT
Install new drivers
Reboot
Do you have ver. 1.73?
