Hello guys!
I am having a very strange problem with my Asus laptop running Windows 7 64 Bits, the issue appeared after i used Acronis True Image to recover a backup from few weeks ago.
Everytime i restart or boot up my laptop, the Ethernet controller driver tries to install even thought it is already installed.
I noticed something very interesting which is a number adding next to the driver each time the laptop starts, example:
Atheros AR8131 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20) #3
Atheros AR8131 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20) #4
Atheros AR8131 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20) #5
And son on....
For now i just disabled this device since i am not really using it (i use the wireless connection most of the time) but i was just wondering how can I fix this?
Many thanks!
