I have just completed a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 on my system and all is well except for a yellow exclamation mark showing in Device Manager under "Network adapters" and against the item "Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface" 

Looking under the properties for this device shows "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"

I haven't got any idea on what this device is or does.

Could someone please advise on this problem.

Thanks.

Hi Siebert9,

Welcome to Microsoft Answers Community Forum!

First thing I would like to suggest you is to uninstall and reinstall the device from device manager and verify if the yellow exclamation mark disappears.

You can also try updating your network driver by following these steps:

  • Right click the Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface
  • Update Driver Software...
  • Browse my computer for driver software
  • Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
  • Select from the list and update the driver.

Also you may get this mark because the network adapter may not be compatible with Windows 7. Request you to contact the manufacturer’s website and download the latest driver/adaptor that is compatible with Windows 7.

To check for compatibility in windows 7, visit the below mentioned link:

Hope this helps resolve your issue!

Thanks & Regards,

Supreeth - Microsoft Support.

    Hi Auggy,

    Ran the system file checker but everything checked out ok, see below:

    Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]

    C:\Windows\system32>sfc /scannow

    Beginning system scan.  This process will take some time.

    Beginning verification phase of system scan.

    Verification 100% complete.

    Can you provide some more info on the computer?:

    Start > type msinfo32 in the "Search programs and files" box and press "Enter" > File > Save > then save as an .nfo file

    Then make the resulting .nfo file available (provide link) via Windows Live SkyDrive or similar site.

    The following link has more info on using Windows Live SkyDrive:

    Hello. I uninstalled from the device manager as suggested, and can't figure out how to get the teredo tunneling adaptor back.

    Where do I find it, and why can't I find it on line?  I was trying to uninstall and reinstall as you stated.  Thanks for your attention.
