My friend gave me a computer that had vista on it, but asked me to downgrade it to XP. I did, but I could not find audio and video drivers at all.. The computer is "everex impact gc3500"
So I want to put Windows 7 on it. But, it doesn't have a dvd drive. I have the win 7 disk, iso, and the exe that I downloaded when I bought 7 with a student discount. Will I be able to do it with just the .exe, or will I need to mount the iso?
I have changed the ram and that fixed most NOw this one when w7 starts it looses parts like no disc drives no device manager no modem and so its a restart and they return untiull next time then it all stops again.some programs run slow internet pages are real slow changeing.I cant install word packages it crashes and now on install it comes up with cant find network.
I want to learn how to install Windows 7 from network but I don't want to use a cd, put it and take the the image from another computer. What I really want is to wake the computer on lan, and install the image that I want automatically, or by controlling remotely. I read some articles about it, there are ways to do it easily in Linux.And I think that "Windows Deployment Services" has this feature, but I couldn't find any satisfying tutorial.

Got a new SSD and just put win 7 pro on it, However I cannot get it to connect to the internet it says to install the driver I tried to do the windows update to auto update my drivers but can not connect to the internet to even try.
How would I find out what network card I have, could I just load it to a flash drive an do it that way?
If it makes a difference it is a wired connection.
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.

When i try to install, I get error message that a driver cannot be found. Remeber the printer is installed locally on both machines... so drivers are present. Does anyone know how to direct to the driver? I do not have an printer install disc... installed from download.
Ok, I'm going to give a small amount of back story here as it may be relevant to the current problem. Yesterday I formatted my Win XP PC and tried to install Windows 7 on it. 3/4 of the way through the installation my PC would restart, and upon loading back into windows I would receive this error message:�The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install Windows, click to restart the computer, and then restart the installatioThere were a number of possible fixes to this problem detailed hereI eventually got the installation to complete properly by removing my Sound Card and my Network Card.Ok, now onto the current problem. As stated, I have a new, clean install of Windows 7 32 which seems unable to connect to our BT Home Hub router. I have an ethernet connection to the router (lights: check, and cables are secure etc) and also a Wireless Network Card which may or may not be in a functioning state. By which I mean, I have had problems with it in the past but I can't remember exactly what is wrong with it. However, as I did with my XP install I want to connect via the ethernet cable.
In the Network and Sharing Center there are no networks listed.I have attempted to update the drivers for my MB and the Network Card, neither of which seemed to do anything.If I try to ping google or anywhere else it fails.This could end up being a very simple issue, but I'm completely new to Windows 7 (and skipped Vista) so I don't really no where to go from here, and am kind of burned out after spending 8 hours yesterday just installing windows.My PC specs:Custom BuiltOS: Windows 732bitMOBO: ASUS M2N4-SLICPU: AMD Dual Core 3 GHzGfx Card: GeForce GTS 250Network Card: Realtek 8185
Family member got a new laptop for Christmas and asked if I could clean it up. So I just went about freshly installing Windows 7 in order to rid of the ridiculous bloatware. Well, same OS installed fresh and the computer won't detect anything from the USB ports, the ethernet port or the wifi adapter.
I stupidly tried to upgrade to Windows 8 on a Windows 7 Gigabyte slate S1080. It didn't work and now when I try to reinstall Windows 7, network and USB are not detected. The windows 7 installation is trying to find the device drivers but as there is no CD ROM and the USB is not detected, I can't go any further
My company computer (hooked up to our internal network; no homegroup) has just had a fresh install of Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. I went through the process of mapping network drives and had a problem when it came to connecting to IP addresses and folders in the format of '\servershared folder'. Turned out that I had to change a security setting.
Following the instructions on this site, I was able to resolve that issue. These network locations are CNC machines and the files that I am placing on the machines contain CNC code (G&M code and X, Y, Z values for 3D machining). Basically, G&M code cannot have multiple X, Y or Z values on the same line (it wouldn't make sense to go to two X locations in the same move).
When I transfer CNC files from a network location (all of our files are stored on a server) to the CNC machine, they occasionally get corrupted where part of one file is contained in another file. I have tried transferring one at a time and in bulk, both with the same result.
I have just installed Windows 7 onto my Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop. My laptop now detects a number of wireless networks in the vicinity but not my own. It is not a problem with my router because other laptops can pick up the connection no problem. I have Googled this problem and see a lot on issues with Windows 7 and picking up wireless signals. But I haven't seen any threads which deal specifically with the situation where only one wireless network cannot be detected.
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.
How would one go about doing a network install of windows 7, the machine I'm on has no dvd, my usb stick is missing, and I don't wanna run an install from inside windows to a separate partition cause I don't the new install of windows 7 seeing "d:" as it's main directory.
Trying to install an HP 2100 tn printer through a Linksys router to a Win 7 62 Pro machine. Win 7 drivers for Asus MB, Marvell Card and latest firmware for Linksys router.
Tried Win 7 printer installation routines a jillion times...and it couldn't find the printer (power cycled router and printer several times). Used HP latest network diagnostic but it can't find the printer. Used latest PCL 5, 6 and PS drivers from HP - nothing. Used netsniffer with HP diagnostic and it looks like the diagnostic sees the printer (reports the correct i.p. address) but doesn't identify it as a printer.
Went back to XP where the printer works and found it is currently working with IPX protocol.
Anyone have any ideas? I don't want to buy a new printer, or stick with XP.
Okay so I have no clue how to do this. This message pops up every time I try to troubleshoot my internet connection. Windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter. If you have a network adapter, you will need to re-install the driver. This is funny though because my network was working find but there was this issue with my laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium OA 32 bits) and I repaired and now the problem is gone but now I have the problem with my network. What do I do?

I have two NIK's onboard the MB I thought had given out so I installed another in a available PCI slot.They work if I go into Device manager and remove them, then scan for new hardware, the drivers automatically install and it works, but when I reboot they no worky until I do the above step. [CODE]
I have a usb network adapter and the driver files are on a flash drive. On XP, I just selected search in this location and selected the driver folder. I cant figure out how to do that in 7. I have the flash drive plugged in and the adapter too but when it searches it can't find the driver folders and i can't find a way to direct it to them.
I re-installed Windows 7 onto a new SSD and have issues with my wireless connectivity.I have a ralink 802.11n wireless lan card with 3.0.2.0 driver from 19/6/2009. Device manager doesn't seem to show me the model number.I use usenet so can normally max out my broadband connection, but what i'm seeing is my computer struggling to reach the full down load speed and failing to maintain a constant speed sometimes dropping out completely for up to a minute. I have a VPN set up so can normally get round any ISP traffic shaping.I also struggle to watch you tube video at 480p on my desktop but can stream them at 1080p on my lap top from the same room.I've tried turning off the VPN and firewall on my desktop to rule them out but it doesn't seem to have an effect.
Upgraded to windows 7 ultimate 64bit from vista ultimate 64 bit. That didnt fix it. I'm desparate. I've tried everything I can find. It has a realtek 8169 nic on board sabertooth x85. I tried USB adapter and where it normally loads it just says it's installed but shows up in device manager. Like thw tealtek nic with yellow triangle on it. If I try an update driver it returns "parameter is incorrect" message. Its not connected and the is no IP using ipconfig. I Lost all my software CDs and emails with serials etc in a house fire last year.
I'm installing Windows 7 Professional on my laptop and I'm at what I think is the final set up stage but it has been trying to connect to the network and apply the settings for an hour now. The loading bar is still scrolling continuously and I can move the pointer round but I can't do much else.
I've downloaded the newest installation package several times and changed even between Home and Pro packages. Error stays the same, and as far as I've found out it's due to a network error. Has anyone else experienced the problem?

There are about 40 computers on the LAN and all of them are Windows 7. AC DC is Windows Server 2008. So I wonder if it is possible to install the update (only this update) to all client computers on the network automatically?
After a clean install on a new ssd I'm trying to get my network adapter to work. I put the driver files from the site onto a USB stick, went to devices> properties and then tried to install the drivers fro a file. Unfortunately, Win7 says there are no drivers found. On my laptop, WinZip keeps failing to extract the drivers from the ZIP. I downloaded it here:EDIT: I also tried downloading the file again in case the first got corrupted, but I get the same error each time.I also tried another driver from a product that looked very similair
