Thanks Mario.

You are a genius. This worked like a charm. Thank you sooooo much for this post. You solved the problem that a lot of people are having.

Well done Mario; excellent solution. Worked like a charm.

I spent a whole day chasing this round until I found you post. Absolutely brilliant, This worked for me using Windows 8.1 64bit.

Absolutely Worked! YAY!

Mario, thanks for this solution. Telling windows which specific driver to use resolved the problem, as Windows kept trying to use and reinstall a generic/realtek driver for my Apple mobile devices.

It worked for me too. Thanks

Awesome, this worked for me too. I had tried everything. Thanks!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH! IT TOOK ME LIKE ALMOST TWO HOURS TRYING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM!

This worked for me too, thought I had done something wrong. Thank you so much for your help.

Thank you this worked and so easy to understand instructions.

I'm getting windows cannot find the path specified whenever I try to update the driver with that file. Any ideas?

Thank you Mario! Worked great for me.

Thank You so much. Saved by life. what a PITA this was. Thanks much, appreciate your effort.
