What is the installer for Net?

I have a Toshiba Satellite purchased in 2004 with Windows XP Professional.
It came with an Atheros 802.11 super G installed. It has been working fine
out of the box until around August of 2007. At that time it began to show
the following behavior. On boot, it would display found new device, then a
"device error" window with the following message. "Windows could not load
the installer for Net. Contact your hardware vendor." This error also
occurs when trying to install AOL, or USB wireless adapters, or one in the
side slot.

Can anyone explain what Windows is looking for and how to fix the problem.

Thanks

If you really need the DotNet runtime, then you can download the latest at
this link:

I don't believe it is normal to write device drivers requiring the dotNet
runtime. If it needed the runtime, the device installation media should have
installed it. Did the device come with an installation disk?
