Hello!
This is my first post; be gentle, please.
After excessive testing & diagnosing, I've concluded that the following causes my "network connections" to be deleted, and I get a Code-19 (corrupted/missing driver) for my Network Adapters happens if I use WINDOWS help!
Here is what happens:
For one reason or another, I lose connectivity. I have a fickle ISP and I'm always resetting my cable modem, etc.
1.) I double-click the tray icon for "network," then go to Network & Sharing Center.
2.) Under Network (my actual connection,) I click "view status," then click "Properties."
3.) A "Diagnose" button is available. As soon as I push it, I'm usually given several options: Reset the adapter, Get new IP settings, etc.
4.) If I choose "reset the adapter," my network connections dissapear, I get the Code 19 (missing/corrupted drivers), then I have to restore them manually through Device Manager.
NOTE: If I "browse my computer for drivers," I have some on here that work. It would help to know the difference between:
1.) Generic Marvell Yukon 88E8056 based Ethernet Controller
2.) Generic Marvell Yukon Chipset* based Ethernet Controller
3.) Marvell Yukon 88E8056 PCI-E* Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Marvell)
4.) Marvell Yukon 88E8056 PCI-E* Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Marvell) duplicate?
5.) Marvell Yukon 88E8056 PCI-E* Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Microsoft)
------------------------
Given the problem and what causes it (repair, ironically,) I would like to ask the following: What's the difference between PCI-E & Chipset based drivers? I can't seem to find the terms online. Also, how does one know which is the best driver to pick from? Should I end up reformatting if I can't fix this, is there a way to SAVE A COPY or BACKUP the drivers in that list that seem to already be on my computer?
Note: SOMETIMES when the problem happens, an Asus EIO Driver & Marvell xx61 RAID Controller disappear with the same Code 19, too, but that hasn't been happening lately.
I know this is a tall drink of water. I've been trying very hard, though, and have been at it for 2 weeks. I'm going nuts.
