Help, before I go insane

[Tieox]

I have HP Pavillion G6 laptop in purple, it has years of Uni work on it. The final task before handing it back after removing a tonne of crap, is to install WIFI drivers.

 

EACH driver I have tried even the one Windows installs when it boots up (no Ethernet connected ) causes it to hang at the Windows 7 splash screen, I can boot it into safe mode ( no networking it hangs then ) and remove the driver and it boots normally.  

 

Please someone put me out of my misery and say they have seen this before and could link me to the correct driver, I've been at this for hours now.

It may have had a different wifi card installed so you could try doing a search using the hardware ID.

 

Open up Device Manager in the control panel.

Right click on the wifi card and hit properties.

Click the details tab and select hardware ID from the drop down menu.

Enter the first long number/letter line into Google and see what comes up.
