Unable to connect to the internet after you have reinstalled Windows

It came with Vista on it, but it is basically screwed up... There was no recovery disk... so I did a clean install with a XP disk... all right except that I can't get on the internet... In the OTHER DEVICES ethernet controller PCI device, PCI Modem, SM Bus controller, unknown device and video controller (VGA Compatible) are all highlighted with a yellow question mark... Try to find the driver with my son's computer, but everything I find says that there in an internet search... until this problem is fixed, I can't connect to internet... Help, please! Thank you!!

Hi Dreman1970,

·         What is the brand and model of the computer?

Of yellow exclamation, PCI Modem and other devices Ethernet controller describes the drivers necessary for the device are missing.

I suggest you use another computer connected to the internet to find your manufacturer's Web site. Then you need to find the driver to download links for your computer model. Once you have downloaded the drivers, you can transfer them to your computer and install them. Once the drivers are installed, you will be able to connect to the internet.

See the following article for more information on installing the drivers:

  • I have no sound on the computer after you have reinstalled Windows.

    Hello

    I just reinstalled Windows 7 on my PC and I was a little proud of myself, have internet, email, video works... but then no sound. :(

    So the most common answer seems to be getting the correct driver.

    I have a motherboard ASUS P7-P55-M, I went to the ASUS website and got the best audio driver for this mobo, which is: VIA_Audio_V6019500_XPVistaWin7.

    I therefore installed that, and then one encouraging thing is that DURING the installation of this audio driver, my speakers made a sound that made me think that they are the least recognized, or this audio driver is at least to see them there?

    But then after the reboot, I still have no sound.

    So I tried to look at the specs for this mobo, and saw the audio chip itself is VIA VT1708S. So I followed the links and found a driver for it, but after I installed that now, it seems that it is just a version still newer same driver (the preceding being 9500, 10200 or this is what it looks like.)

    in any case, this newer version and the one outside the site of ASUS, as well as older drivers, I think, just install a version or one that other: HD VDeck.

    Common responses include at this time something about the Realtek drivers (can't see how tho so it shall not apply, or using those on drivers THROUGH), or Windows Troubleshooter, or something in the playback functions, or an old or Windows driver conflict with these new?), but I have tried these things (or I thought I did lol).

    But I still have no sound on my speakers.

    Very frustrating because it feels like I'm 98% done my re - install, and it looks like its just some simple setting somewhere in Windows or this HD VDeck that will get things working.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

    Original title: speakers work not after fresh windows 7 installed, please help!

    Hello

    Thank you very much for your answers. :)

    I formatted completely, no folder Windows.old and also no printed dxdiag, I myself for the kicks, which I'll make sure to have next time lol.

    Device Manager is fine, I went over that and basically each sound option of Windows or menu, that I could find, which made me think the problem somewhere else.

    So I took the suggestion of Nirmal and used automatically diagnose it and fix the link he provided. Suggestions of the convenience store has really helped as much as he said everything has been updated, or was not a problem, but what I noticed, it was what a screen in the Microsoft Fixit program running:

    Resolution of Windows Audio playback problems

    Which of these devices you want to troubleshoot?

    Select the device that you are having problems with. If the device is not listed, select device are not.

    Speakers - VIA High Definition Audio (the connector for this device is located on the front of the computer).

    Interface SPDIF (TX0) VIA High Definition Audio (the connector for this device is located on the open or pull-open sliding panel at the back of the computer).

    Output HDMI AMD - AMD high definition Audio Device (Connector for this unit is located in the HDMI connector).

    Unlisted device.

    Now when I continued from here, I don't have all the answers useful, but it makes me start thinking about the plugs/connectors themselves, rather than the drivers or anything else.

    So, I've discovered that my audio interface (HD VDeck) installed with the audio drivers of my motherboard, has no options is disable the jacks on the front panel, or the possibility of re - configure jacks how you want. If you want your speaker system to get out the same plug as it was before, you MUST be able to reconfigure your catch. Otherwise, making default value for your speakers, according to the drivers from the manufacturer of your, is actually not the green plug, I used, but among the other instead. This other outlets, or maybe even just the front headphone or microphone jack will work instead.

    So to summarize:

    If you did a clean install of Windows 7 (or a similar version), and that you have installed the drivers of your sound and re-configured your settings Windows Sound (speakers as value by default, etc.), then you did everything up to this point correctly. At this point, you MUST have an audio program like Realtek, which allows you to reconfigure or disable the catch. Otherwise, your speakers, by default, is no longer just the audio jack green we are accustomed to, but rather another "back". You MUST use the other rear socket (most likely the speaker FRONT plug), or one of your jacks façade, in plugging your speakers instead.

    This may sound funny, but this workaround works, unless you get an audio program to reassign the normal green audio jack.

    I looked at hundreds of messages on the last few days trying to get this resolved. I wish I could go back and share this info with all these people now lol.

    Thanks for the info, and please share with all those who have problems with Windows reinstall and sound.

    Kind regards

    I have a laptop Dell circa 2004 with windows XP Professional on it. I contacted a bug of some kind and it was very slow and the fan even stopped working. My only choice was to use the disk installation and F8 to recover the laptop. After that I got all going again once I tried to set up a new connection and it doesn't seem to know that I have a wireless adapter or the ability to connect wirelessly. Any body can help me to understand why it does this?

    Hi Phillacio,

    In addition to the procedure step by step proposed by Shenan Stanley, you can download the network drivers from the website of Dell support on another computer, bring to this laptop computer using a flash drive and install them first.

    Then follow all the steps above one by one, and your laptop should work great.

    Original title: I accidentally turned off the program that allows my computer to connect to the Internet

    Hi Tunasushiroll,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing and will certainly help you in the right direction to solve the problem.

    The problem can occur for various reasons, including incorrect TCP/IP settings configured, firewalls third of anti-virus programs blocking the connection, or due to bad the advanced sharing settings. So, I would suggest trying the following methods and check if you system is able to detect the wireless network.

    Method 1:

    Run the troubleshooter network first, and then test your Internet connection.

    Open the Network Troubleshooter by hitting on any fly in the Dashboard screen, quilting Search(or if you use a mouse, pointing to the top right of the screen, move the mouse down and then clicking search), entering the network troubleshooterin the search box, type, or by clicking settingsand then by typing or clicking on identify and fix network problems.

    If the problem persists, try the following method.

    Method 2:

    Second of all, please check if the WLAN service is started and set to automatic. If it is stopped, then I suggest you to start the service and set it to automatic.

    1. Press the Windows key + R, type services.msc in the Run dialog box and press ENTER.
    2. Select the Autoconfiguration WLAN service in the list and double-click it.
    3. Change the startup to Automatic type, then click Start to start the service.
    4. Click apply and then click OK.
    5. Restart the computer and verify if the network is detected. If this is not the case, go to method 3.

    Method 3:

    Reset the DNS and TCP/IP settings.

    1. Press the Windows key + X, click prompt (Admin).
    2. Please enter the following commands and press ENTER after each one.

      netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
      netsh winsock reset
      ipconfig/registerdns
      ipconfig/flushdns
      ipconfig/release

    3. Restart the computer to check the issue.

    Check if the system is able to detect the network. If this is not the case, go to method 4.

    Method 4:
    Temporarily disable the security software (if any), and check if it helps.

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
