1391067	2014-12-28 06:41:00	Intel has given me a list of instructions but after deleting the requested drivers I can't install the ones I have downloaded because Windows does it automatically when I reboot . When I try to "update" the drivers, Windows says I already have the latest drivers and won't let me put in the earlier ones . . . So how do I force Windows to take on an early driver? >>>> Hello Michael, Please try the following steps: 1- Download wireless driver from here: . intel . com/confirm . aspx?httpDown=http://downloadmirror . intel . com/24217/eng/Wireless_17 . 1 . 0_s64 . exe&Lang=eng&Dwnldid=24217" target="_blank">downloadcenter . intel . com 2- Download graphics driver from here: . intel . com/confirm . aspx?httpDown=http://downloadmirror . intel . com/24329/a08/win64_153330 . exe&Lang=eng&Dwnldid=24329" target="_blank">downloadcenter . intel . com 3- Download WiDi software from here: . intel . com/Detail_Desc . aspx?DwnldID=23861" target="_blank">downloadcenter . intel . com 4- Once you have downloaded the files, please go to Device Manager and look up for Network adapters and expand it, now look up for Intel Centrino Wireless N 2230 and right-click it . 5- Choose “Uninstall” and check the box next to: “Delete the driver software for this device” . 6- Go to Control Panel - Programs and Features and if still present, uninstall Intel PROSet Wireless software . 7- After process is complete, please restart your computer and install wireless driver . 8- When installing the driver, please choose custom and choose the enterprise version . 9- Once the installation finishes, remove WiDi software from programs and features and install it the downloaded driver . 10- Go to Device Manager and look up for Display Adapters section and expand it, look for Intel HD Graphics 4000 right click it and choose "Uninstall", also check the box next to: “Delete the driver software for this device” . 11- Your screen may go black, if it does, please restart your computer and install the downloaded graphics driver . 12- Try to use WiDi and test .

Further down the page, untick the two other options ( Recommended and Microsoft)--( this is for W8.1 but earlier will be similar) Remove the drivers completely as per Intels instructions, you should then be able to install the others you have. Note: make sure you actually uninstall completely as per #5 on your list "Delete the driver software for this device"	wainuitech (129)
1391069	2014-12-29 19:53:00	Thank you Wainui - I tried that but it had no effect So I contacted Intel and they said the files they were referring to as "drivers" were actually "driver installation software". That means installing by double-click rather than by Device Manager... Anyway I followed their procedure and everything installed OK. But the problem remains - Widi picture freezes after 10 seconds Annoyingly, the drivers they got me to install are the latest ones which I already had, whereas I requested assistance in installing EARLIER drivers that worked. It seems that when a new Intel person takes over the problem they go back to square one. Thankfully they don't go right back to "have you tried rebooting"...	BBCmicro (15761)
1391070	2014-12-29 20:18:00	Have you tried a different widi receiver? Maybe the problem is at the other end	nmercer (3899)
1391071	2014-12-29 21:45:00	I have 2 receivers both PTV3000. One is current firmware, the other is about a year out of date. They both show the same problem (on different TV sets). Intel seem to think the problem is the Wifi (direct) transmission stopping. They got me to instal some logging software on my computer and I emailed some files to them	BBCmicro (15761)
