Error Setup 1598 Broadcom

devices Broadcom driver installation error Broadcom driver installation error New 15 Jun 2006 #1 MrMarkers Guest Broadcom driver installation error I recently installed Windows Vista Beta 2 x64 on a new laptop I purchased (1.8GHz Turion 64, 1 GB ram, 128mb IGP - I believe), and for the most part everything is running smoothly (I'm starting to look forward to the final release). I am having some problems installing some drivers but I expected that as this is not only a beta version but also a 64-bit version. I can live without the touchpad drivers and the printer drivers, but I would like to get the Broadcom 802.11g Wireless Network Card working so I can move around a bit (after all it is a laptop, right?). While running the installation software for the Broadcom Network driver that came with my computer I kept recieving an error message: "Setup 1598". I cannot find an explanation of this error code anywhere but I figure it has something to do with the new OS. My question involves the problem I am having when I open up the device manager and click "Update Driver Software" for my wireless network card. I choose to search for and install the software and after a minute or so, I am informed that "Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device." The message says: "Windows found driver software for your device but enountered an error while attempting to install it. Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter. The System cannot find the file specified." After recieving this message, I went back and tried to update the driver again, this time instead of automatically searching for and updating the driver I chose to "Browse my computer for driver software." I then clicked "Let me pick from a list of device drivers...", selected "Network Adapter" from the list, and cicked "Have Disk." I browsed to the folder where I had downloaded the latest version of the driver from my laptop's manufacturer and clicked OK. After windows tried to install this driver, I recieved the sa

It should still be there providing that you didnt delete the hidden partition called PQSERVICE.

I know this is old, but I thought I'd post the answer incase anyone else encountered this problem - It's because you're running an x64 machine =P There are no wireless drivers for x64 operating systems. Shitty deal, yeah? The Midnighter, Sep 18, 2007 #4 tboneson1 New Member Messages: 1 Solution I just formatted my aspire 3610 recently and was having the same problem. I downloaded the drivers available on the Acer support site, but they only had the broadcom and the atheros drivers, and not the intel 2200 BG driver my system actually needed. Luckily, I found my old acer backup disc(which you create when you first power on your system) which had the correct driver, because I didn't find it on the Acer w

And as far as BroadCom Drivers go...they can be a pain to try to find the right one. I am guessing that you have maybe the wrong driver for the chipset. Did you get this driver from the OEM or some place else?Also is this card integrated to the laptop etc or PCMCIA or USB interfaced etc? Seen before where if you dont have your PCMCIA BUS Controller drivers it will cause issues with devices plugged in.If this is an external wireless adapter device, has it been mistreated to where it could be damaged or are we truely hunting down a driver issue like this sounds like?
