Microsoft Virtual Miniport Driver Error

I reinstalled my laptop with windows 7 ultimate. All drivers where installed except for the Virtual Miniport Driver. I did not pay attention to this except when I use the Virtual Router Plus 2.3.0. The Virtual Router Plus cannot start. So I started to investigate and find out that the virtual driver is the reason. I searched for every forums and find out the solution.

1. update the wireless driver (mine is Atheros 9285), the link is found below.

2. uninstall the virtual miniport driver

3. restart

That's all, hope this experience of mine can also help others.
