Do any other pc's connect to the same network? . . Can you connect with a wired connection? Did you enter the security keys for the wireless device? . . What brand and model is the wireless device?

Open Device Manager and look for anything marked as unknown or that has a yellow ! in front of it . .

nothing under network adapters has a yellow ! or ? in front. under other devices that has a yellow ? and so does ethernet controller, multimedia audio controller, and 2 video controllers. they all have yellow ?. it still say limited or no connectivity

You need to install the drivers for those devices in the Other line . . You can find them in the link in my first post. Load the Chipset driver first, then the others in any order
