Sierra Wireless 1xEV-Do adapter has a problem...

... I can't install the drivers for it. There is a little yellow mark in the Device Manager, and the following message when I double-click: "Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)" What does this mean? I am seriously considering that reinstalling Windows might be the only option.

Do you have the wireless switch at the bottom in the green (ON) position?

Try uninstalling the device in Device Manager...then reinstall the drivers/software.

Hmm.. not sure what you mean about the wireless switch.. if you mean, is there the little green icon showing below the screen, the one that looks like a cellphone icon, then yes, it is on (all the time - don't know how to switch it off... Fn+F5 doesn't work yet as the drivers aren't installed). Is there another switch I need to pay attention to? If so, where?

As far as the drivers go, I've tried uninstalling them and reinstalling many times. Even managed to find a different driver version online. Won't install, and I am left with that one device with error 37. Any ideas?
