The driver in Windows 10 for Intel pro /1000 MT suddenly does not appear to be working
I was running W7Ultimate and downloaded W10 preview successfully. I was running a Nvidia nForce at that time.
I successfully accessed my LAN and the internet.
Suddenly, perhaps on an update, Nvidia stopped working. I figured the drivers were not working. But I could
not find appropriate drivers at the Nvidia site.
So I purchased an Intel pro/1000 MT complete with a disk of drivers.
It would not install successfully. Several error messages were presented. "DEVICE ......could not be migrated"
"Device requires further installation"
The symptoms are:
In Device Manager
the adapter card is shown as working.
driver is identified as iqvw64e.sys
When I attempt to update with a driver from the Intel site, I am told the driver installed with W10 is the latest.
In The Network Sharing center
No adapter is presented
Upon machine bootup
The bios presents a message: "No phy LAN cable"
yet if i use a cable that works on another machine (without changing the router connection) I get the same message.
I tried disabling and removing the Nvidia nForce ethernet adapter through the Device Manager. did nothing.
I tried to use the utility that enabled me to check out the card, but a message popped up indicating that the tools did not work on
the O/S I was using. (Windows 10)
I looked at the microsoft compatability site. It indicated the intel PRO network connections software ver 10 was compatible. downloaded.
ran it...the message i got was "NO INTEL ADAPTERS ARE PRESENT IN THIS COMPUTER". But I see the adapter. it is physically installed correctly.
I tried different pci connectors. the same message. I am at a loss.
Does anyone have any idea how I might be successful in installing a driver for this card so I can get back to work using W10?
