I tried to install KB295209 running Vista Ultimate. I would not install after repeated attempts. However it knocked out my Realtek wireless network adapter. I have tried repeatedly to reinstall the driver but cannot. I keep getting the same message, "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.
Realtek RTL8187 Wireless 802.11g 54Mbps USB 2.0 Network Adapter
The name is already in use as either a service name or a service display name".
Checking the Internet confirmed that I am not alone with problems created by this "fix".
The so called patch of the patch will not install either.
Realtek offers the driver and an update, but neither will install and both display the same message displayed above.
Does anyone know how to undo the "name in use" problem so I might be able to get the network going again?
KB925902 installed on my computer running XP without a hitch and without doing any damage. It appears that only Vista is the victim.
