Sorry everyone I have to run out and get food. I'll be back later :( If you find any resolutions to your issues please let us know!
Looks like it worked!
Can you please go into that adapater screen and disable your Local Area Connection. Then restart the computer. When the computer boots back up please do step #3 again then see if step #4 gives you the same error. I've seen a few people have issues starting the hotspot with a LAN on, and I had the same issue personally.
I know some Windows 8 users did get it working, so it's not impossible.
There are some discussions about it earlier in the thread I'm just looking for them :)

Have you tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the latest driver for your card?
edit: I see that you are attempting this now.
I wouldn't take it out. Are you restarting after uninstalling and after reinstalling?Thank you so much your patience and assistance so far.
I tried it, still nothing. Going to try it one more time though. I suppose it's not worth the hassle trying to remove and re-attach the card inside the computer, eh? I mean, I can connect to the my house's wireless just fine with it. I just can't get it to start hosting.
edit: Guess I'll try re-installing Instacheck afterwards.
All right I'm done. :)

Here's what worked for me.The first time I tried this I was able to connect to the virtual network and everything, but I couldn't select a network to scan. I tried many of the solutions posted and now I can't even start a hotspot anymore. All I get when I try to open it is
An event was unable to invoke any of the subscribers (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040201).
I've sifted through so many pages of solutions and nothing has worked so I'm sorry if the solutions been posted already but is there a fix to this.
I have tried it both ways (uninstalling, popping disk in, installing, and uninstalling, rebooting, running the disk). I re-installed virtual router and instacheck as well.I wouldn't take it out. Are you restarting after uninstalling and after reinstalling?
Here's what worked for me.
On the adapter setting page -> properties of whichever connection you were using to share (probably your ethernet connection)-> sharing tab -> check the allow other network users to connect using this connection -> select a connection other than the instacheck one, so probably your wireless one. -> OK-> Undo whatever you just did -> try instacheck again
It had always detected networks for me beforehand when I installed it. I had to keep reinstalling it after I enabled various networks to get it to detect. Like when I started off it only detected "Ethernet", so after I deleted that instacheck, I disabled ethernet, enabled my wireless, reinstalled Instacheck and it was able to see all the new connections.What did you do to get your Instacheck to detect networks?
I have tried it both ways (uninstalling, popping disk in, installing, and uninstalling, rebooting, running the disk). I re-installed virtual router and instacheck as well.
I have three possible ideas at the moment.
- Even upon uninstalling and rebooting, Windows immediately tries to grab the driver itself.(I have like three seconds to react, and I can't stop it in time) The latest attempt it failed. Despite failing, the disk insisted the drivers were still installed. ((Though the disk also wants me to not even have the card in the computer, and only insert it after I reset the computer.)) I suppose I'd have to unplug my Ethernet cable or something to stop Windows from immediately grabbing the driver upon booting up?
- As mentioned before, the card's instructions are very specific not to have it inserted (rather cables) before I first start up the disk. I'm not sure what that really does, but it seems like it would be a pain just to remove it, reboot, run program, insert it, restart computer, and let it grab the driver.(Windows ninja's the disk program grabbing the drivers)
- I am using a solid state drive that barely holds any space to keep my operating system on exclusively. It makes booting up my computer super fast. I pretty much run all programs on my D drive, and have reset folders (such as My Documents, My Pictures, ect. to actually be on that drive rather than the SSD.) Sometimes I run into issues with programs because it likes installing on the C drive without asking where to place the download. Instacheck and Virtual Router are all on the D drive, and I honestly have no idea if that possibly could be the cause. ((I apologize, I know virtually nothing on networking.)
Yay!Hot damn, worked like a charm. Thanks a bunch.
No, it uses the wireless card to create a hotspot.Is there any way to get it work without a wireless card? I have a router and I can't get a card
I took the driver off completely and it isn't working still. :/If you have the setup.exe for the latest driver, you can rerun the setup and select modify. Then remove/deselect the network manager and bandwidth control.

Do you have your ethernet cable available? What happens when you plug that in and use it as your shared connection?I took the driver off completely and it isn't working still. :/
FINALLY got it to show networks.

Don't ask me how, but I got it... lol Been tweaking around since yesterday.
congrats to both of you :3Congrats xD Yeah I feel the pain LOL. I actually spent about 6 straight hours trying to get this thing to work :)
