ok, if you have your recovery cd then try to install it back, but be sure to back up all your important datas before doing it.. if don't have the recovery cd, check your manufacturer's website for any driver..what's the model and brand of your laptop?

hi saurav,

you said there were two drivers always coming out but the the wrong one keeps installing when you try to install,try this install the driver again and if the wrong gets installed then go to device manager, then click on plus, right click the wireless adapter, then click on properties then a new window will come out, click on Driver then click Driver Details..on Driver Details you can see the file and the location of the driver..list it down..after that click ok, then uninstall the driver.. after uninstalling your driver check your list go to the location of the driver double check if it still exist.. if still exist delete the file so the next time you install it would not bother you again..so can install the correct driver.. hope this helps.. Good luck..

hi saurav,

sorry i can't be of help anymore..i think the best way is to reinstall your OS...maybe there are missing files in your system and the windows registry is maybe corrupted too....
