What antivirus and other realtime protectiion is installed? What version of Windows 7 is this?

 

[Johnheard]

Re: Windows not detecting any networking hardware

No anti virus on com not sure about real time and the disc is windows 7 64 bit. I tried to restore but it will only go back to after I put this disc on.

Windows 7 Home premuim? . . Profesional? Ultimate? Starter?

Is the current user account an administrator account?

Are you sure you downloaded the right driver? I must be 64bit

I'm not sure it is a copy of windows I got off a friend. How do I find out which windows it is? And no I'm not using administrator I'm using my own account.

Re: Windows not detecting any networking hardware

It should say on the disc . . Did you install the chipset driver first? As long as your account isnot a limited one, you should be able to install drivers

Re: Windows not detecting any networking hardware

Should I reinstall the disc? It just says windows 7 64 bit on the disc. And no I'm not limited I'm not sure if I installed that first. I'm in trouble ain't I?!?

Re: Windows not detecting any networking hardware

Do you have the discs that came with the pc? When you installed. did you use the product key on the sticker on the bottom of the laptop?

Re: Windows not detecting any networking hardware

No discs came with with the pc I turned it on and it went straight to setup and it did not ask for a product key at point.

 

[Old Rich]

Re: Windows not detecting any networking hardware

When you reinstalled it did that?

 

[Johnheard]

Re: Windows not detecting any networking hardware

I went on that site and looked for my product number on the sticker but I can only see a product key number

 

[Johnheard]

Re: Windows not detecting any networking hardware

When I reinstalled it just went straight through setup and asked nothing

Re: Windows not detecting any networking hardware

Was that an original installation disc or a copy? Are you trying to install wireless or wired drivers? Have you tried installing any other drivers?

Do you have the sticker they show in the example?

 

[Johnheard]

Re: Windows not detecting any networking hardware

Not the same sticker no but I do have a sticker. I did not have a origanal disc the com did not come with a disc. And when I put the copy disc in it did not ask me for a product key either. I want wireless drivers but I want both.
