Operating Sistem Windows 8 Pro x64
Motherboard Asus M5A97
Hello , I've been scouting the internet a lot for answers ; unfortunately found none for Windows 8.Trust me , I really searched and tried solutions , but didn't work.This is the message I'm getting for EVERY new driver I try to install or , update old ones after unistalling :"Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device.Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC . The system cannot find the file specified ". I know the card is old but it worked before, (fresh Windows installation) , I get the same error if I try to update ex: the audio drivers.
This is how Device Manager Looks like:Normal, just ... I don't get it.
Tried both methods "Search automatically for updated driver software" / "Browse my computer for driver software".Nothing...
First I discovered the problem while updating Daemon tools ... Virtual Device wouldn't install.
I think I encountered the same problem in Windows 7 long time ago.Fixed it by deleting "infcache.1" in DriverStore, but Windows 8 doesn't have this file.
I keep the OS up to date.Antivirus : Kaspersky Pure 3.I really keep my pc clean and organized.
Do you have any suggestions?Beside re-installing Windows.Also tried SFC /SCANNOW, and the DISM command. Scannow found some errors once , fixed them.
Thank you.
