Vista - Network Adapter Code31

Network Adapter Code31

I have an exclamation point next to the following network adapter:

3Com Dual Port 10/100/1000 PCI-X Server NIC

Device status says the following:

This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)
Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.


I tried to update the driver and Windows says I already have the best available drivers.

I tried a system restore and that worked for about a day even though I still had the exclamation point in the Device Manager. Internet went out, tried system restore again, did not work a second time.


Any help?

Re: Network Adapter Code31

are you saying that you let windows search for available drivers via device manager?

If so download and install the new drivers manaually yourself , i found these after a quick search but i dont know how current they are , maybe you could find newer ones
