Thanks

Try restoring the system to a point before the issue started http://windows.micro.../system-restore

If no joy;

Right click on the device in the Device Manager and uninstall the present driver, restart the notebook and allow Windows to reinstall the driver.

Let us know how it goes.

I did a system restore and fixed it.Have you got any tips to prevent doing the same thing again?Thanks.

Glad you got it sorted and thanks for the follow up

No tips to offer I`m afraid without knowing what caused it, always keeping Windows and other important software such as your Anti Virus protection up to date + having system restore points enabled on your computer are tips that I can suggest though.
