Broadcom WiFi Adapters Cannot Start

[Aeroalon]

First off, let me explain the position I am in. I have the newest 13in MacBook with a 2.4Ghz hard drive. I installed Windows Vista on it recently after I got it. Many times while using Vista, all audio would stop and be replaced with crackling sounds. This would continue until I restarted. I tried going to Dell, downloading drivers for the Broadcom 802.11n WiFi Adapters and installing those, but that caused a worse problem. Windows can no longer find any networks, and when I select the Broadcom WiFi Adapters in Device Manager, it says "This device cannot start." and says it's Code 10 or something. Does anyone have any idea how I could fix this?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Try reinstalling the drivers from your OS X install disk. That should fix the issue.

How exactly do I do that? And the WiFi drivers for Vista come on the OS X disc?

I apologize for not knowing anything, I am fairly new to this.

In the OS X installation disc, I can only find printer drivers, and they install on the Mac side of the partition. I don't have the Vista install disc on me, and am not sure where it is. Can anyone help?

Boot into Vista and put in your OS X install disc. Then, if it doesn't autorun, click on the disk under 'Computer' and reinstall the drivers. I'm not sure exactly what it says since I don't want to have to get out my disk and boot into Vista.

When I put in my OS X install disc in Windows Vista, it gives me an option to Remote Install Mac OS X or an option or Share DVDs or CDs. Not sure what to do here.

Thanks for all the help 11800506. I found a Boot Camp Setup file on the OS X install disc and ran that. It fixed the Broadcom Network Adapter, and the Vista side of my MacBook is back online.

Thanks again for the help 11800506.

No problem! Glad you got it working again.
