Network Card Dissapeard

MGW294 · 07-01-2009, 10:00 AM

So, I was browsing the web and suddenly the internet goes... so I do what i usually do reset the router and everything run back and its still not working, then I discovered that the network card was not showing up in Device manager, and there is a switch on the front of my laptop to turn to wireless on and off, I flicked the switch off and the usual wireless icon with and X through it appeared and flicked it back on, still nothing... I cant see it breaking as I havn't even had this for a year, I've had loads of problems with the wireless on this computer but they were resolved with the latest driver... I cant exactly say which network thing I have because it doesn't show up in device manager anymore although there is a sticker on the bottom of the laptop ("contains radio device AR5BXB63" if that helps?)

so i'm gonna re-install the driver hoping that will work?

i've been having loads of problems ever since I installed GTA:IV but I uninstalled that because my graphics card didn't support shader 3.0

nevermind I fixed it, I just had to re-install the driver software, and connect to my network again
