How to restart windows driver from LabVIEW code?

[Fawzi]

Hi

I want to restart a window7's driver from my LabVIEW code. Is there any system VI to do that? Which palette should I use in this case? I want to restart windows 7’s driver of the network adapter. I have an Intel network adapter board installed in my system. To this adapter board I have an Intel dirver installed in windows7 operationg system. I want to restart that adapter board from my VI code. Or as alternative I want to disable and enable this adapter board from my VI. How to do that?

Thanks

Look at the devcon command line utility. I believe you can use it to do most of the functions you can do from the windows device manager.
