I installed Windows 7 last weekend on a clean HD. I then installed my MB drivers including my marvel(?) Lan drivers.
I could not connect to the internet. I kept getting a message about Windows 7 could not find the network adapter or the drivers for it. I can't remember which. But when I went to reinstall the LAN drivers I got a message about whether I wanted to repair or uninstall the drivers. So I figured they must have been installed, so clicked on repair. Still Windows 7 can't find the network adapter.
What could be wrong? I may try and play some more with Windows 7 this weekend.
I'm using a wired connection from my desktop PC to the cable modem.
I'm having some problems with my motherboard now with Windows 7. It's an Abit motherboard and I'm getting a warning for the action center which states: "Your power management system is missing a driver" and suggest the uGuru 3.1X.
Now is where things get annoying, Abit is shut down and their driver downloads are dead. Even if they were alive, there has not been made any utility for Windows 7 as it weren't out at the time they closed.
So I have a few questions I hope some of you can answer:
- Is it at all vitial to have this driver?
- Is it anywhere I can get one which work with Windows 7?
if none of the above
- Can I somehow force the action center to ignore this "problem"? I hate having unsolved problems poping up there
A little additional question, anyone else having stability problems with the most recent windows messenger client on Windows 7 64bit?
what the network adapter driver is called for my z77 extreme6. I'm using a usb drive to transfer drivers from another computer. No. I don't have my disk that came with the motherboard.
I have a pluscom network adapter which I use to connect my xbox to xbl through my pc. I've recently had to clean reinstall Windows 7 so I've I need to reinstall the driver for this, but can't find it online anywhere.
I tried to update avg on hubs laptop so the kids can play and now after I did it we can't get online period!! on the tool bar were the connection pic is says limited connection? So I did all of the steps to fix ect and it finally came up to.
- There might be a problem w/the drivers for the wireless connection2 adapter - There might be a problem w/the drivers for the local area connection adapter
MY actual modem is good as we have 3 running right now - should I go to restore point before avg in the critical update moments before I realizes this problem?
I just performed a clean installation of Windows 7 Home Premium. The machine used to have Windows 8 but the user did not want that OS. Now that the OS is up and running I need to find out how to get the drivers needed on that machine. I can't even connect to the internet with it to download them from the laptop itself.
Windows 7 Home Premium with Service Pack 1 AMD E-300 APU with Radeon (tm) HD Graphics 1.30 GHz Installed memory: 4 GB System: 64-bit OS
I just upgraded my Compaq Presario SR1403wm from (Windows Xp Home edition) to (Windows 7 pro 32 bit). Everything went well except im now missing Network adapters/Ethernet and am unable to connect to the internet.
So I have re-installed my Windows 7 due to some reasons and now, when I connect my built-in LAN ethernet cable to the pc, it just tells me, that I need some drivers for the network adapter/Ethernet controller.
Windows 7 won't connect to the internet? The ethernet cable is plugged in and it works, but when I am on Windows 7 it cannot detect that I am connected to the internet. I have tried unplugging and replugging and restarting but it still doesn't work. When I troubleshoot, it says: Install a driver for your network adapter.
I am only getting " limited" access to the wireless network at my university, meaning no access! I had no wireless adapter issues 20 min earlier. The only thing I did install was driverupdate, cause I was getting the blue screen only when I was connected to the wireless network at school and the code that came up on the blue screen said something wrong with the driver.I have tried s restore to te previous day, that didn't work! I uninstalled DriverUpdate, still doesn't work. I've tried clearing dns cashe at cmd, that didn't work.
I just did a new build, Intel i5 2500K, ASRock mobo, 16 g ram, my old PNY Quadro NVS 440 video card for my 4 monitors, Crucial M4 64 g SSD, turned it on, works from git go, but I can't connect to the internet. Finally talked with MS support somewhere and they finally said that my network adapter was missing and said I had to buy a drivers and utility disk for my computer. I'm on ATT Uverse and 2 other computers in the house can connect just fine. It's not Uverse or the connection, it's something wrong with my W7 OS or my stupidity. Did I install the software OS incorrectly? Why is there something missing from my OS or computer?How can Windows 7 HP 64 bit not come with a network adapter or driver?
I disabled my network adapter then restarted and now the adapter is no longer showing up in my network connections. How in the world do I get it back? I have looked at other options (like under the registry which was suggested on a couple of places). I have never seen this happen before. I even reinstalled my drivers and still nothing. How do I enable it again?
I have a linksys usb600n (v2) using the Windows 7 driver from linksys. It installs and is displayed correctly in Device Manger - BUT it doesn't appear in the Network and Sharing Center as an adapter. This same device and driver were previously working just fine in this system - but I rebuilt the OS (clean install) after testing a number of security products out.
The initial install went fine - no problems that I remember - just plug in the adapter and install the drivers obtained from Linksys (Ver 3.00.01.0). I tried the same thing on the re-build and it looks fine until I go into the Network Center and can't set up wireless networking since the adapter does not appear.
SIW shows TWO (2) linksys USB adapters under Hardware/Network Adapters, but does not show the network adapters in the Network Information section.
Installed Windows 7 on two home-network computers. Everything appeared to be good, including networking, but I could not access printers (linked through each computer) with the opposite computer. Windows update offered an update for the Broadcom 802.11n network adapter, but when I installed the update I completely lost the network.
I had to revert to the old driver in order to reastablish the network. But the printers still are not recognized. The network adapter on the secondary computer is a Linksys WMP300N. I did try turning the router off for ten seconds with the updated driver but that had no effect.
I am coming up against the perennial 'No driver for your DVD drive' issue when trying to install Windows 7 by booting from a USB stick to install. I have Windows XP on this machine and want to do a clean install. I am aware that the SATA i/o is probably causing the problem, however I've tried almost every permutation of different drives connected to different SATA ports and different bits of the SATA i/o (the board has 2 SATA sockets on the Southbridge and 4 on the Silicon Image additional chip set).
I am trying to get windows 7 to install on my Abit I-N73HD board. The system work fine with XP & Vista. I start a clean install and could not get pass the installation process. It goes to write and save registry section (last leg on the install) and then reboot the PC. The reboot continue on until I unplug power. I am using the latest bios version 13 with 2GB of RAM and Intel DuoCore E5200.
I do not see any BSOD or anything, just constant reboot.
I just got a new computer with Windows 7. My old one was using XP and I had a Linksys USB adapter for it, but it's not working on 7, and I guess it probably shouldn't. So I'll need a new one to connect to my router wirelessly, right?
My VPN does not work any more and kept getting the message that "Failed to connect for following reason :activating VPN adapter failed ". This happned after my system got hit by the Trojan "Win 7 Antispyware 2012 " and malware was run to remove it .
im running windows 7 on my toshiba sattelite L15 S104 and and i cant find a driver for my T60N871 802.11 b/g WLAN wirless adapter. its made by intel but it says foxconn with it also. ive tried toshiba.com and intel.com and still cant find it. does anyone know where i can because i really dont want to go buy a new wirless net work adapter.
I upgraded my windows 7 beta last night to the RC1 release. The only issue i am having is that now my wireless driver is not working correctly.
under the device manager the error is "Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)"
I am using a macbook pro with bootcamp on it, the initial beta public release of Windows 7 picked up the drivers fine. For some reason after upgrading i can get no wireless though. I have tried downloading vista drivers, and just about everything i can think of. I also downloaded the Bootcamp Vista 32 Update from mac, but it did not resolve the problem either.
I loaded some software that I didn't want to 'activate online' and to insure that there wasn't any internet connection I manually disconnected the cable from the port. I plugged it back in and I'm reconnected, until, I reboot.
Once the computer has rebooted I'm no longer connected. I either have to do one of two things, one disable/enable from the device manager or two uninstall and reboot till Windows 7 finds it and re-connects.
Any time after that if I reboot I never get internet connection. If I try to load the drivers I get a compatibility error/issue and if I do a driver update from the device manager it says I have the current/latest drivers.
Edit: I'm getting the yellow exclamation, to be more specific.
Running Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit. I have an HP desktop with a Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller. All was working fine until I got the automatic Win 7 critical update issued 2/15/2011. That is the only thing I can think of that changed. Now for the problem.When my PC boots it appears that the NIC driver is not being started giving me no access to my Netgear WNDR3700 router and thus no internet connection. If I uninstall the Realtek Controller using device manager then restart the system it finds a new device, the Realtek controller, and installs it and I can then access router and the internet. When I shut it off the next time I start it up again I have no access to the router.I did restore my system back to 2/14/2011 using the restore point created by the 2/15/2011 update and it worked fine until Windows automatically installed the critical update again. That is why I blame the update. Since then there have been two or three more critical updates but the problem persists. Also I can no longer go back to the 2/14/2011 restore as it seems the system only retains the latest restore points and 2/14/2011 is gone.One other thing is there is another listing under Network Adapters in Device Manager. WAN Miniport (PPPOE) it has the little triangle with the exclamation point in it. I tried to reinstall it searching both my hard drive and the internet for a driver but it can't find one. Under Properties it also says, "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)" However this does not stop me from accessing my router using the method described above.
i have a windows 7 laptop and i need to install a network adapter so i can get online... i got a 2nd laptop so its good but WHERE can i get the driver so i can put it on a usb and install to the other laptop?
