Windows 7: I recently UpGraded from xp to vista then windows 7

When i did i have no network driver (meaning Local Area Connection Card ) because when i try to install the xp cds installation it says that it dose not support my os the cd name is Asus Motherboard P4R8L .

My computer is iqon and screen philips can someone please help me also i installed Oracle VM VirtualBox and then in the bottom corner it has unidentified Network no internet access could you also make that work thanks

You will have to go to the website for your Asus motherboard and download either a Windows 7 or Vista NIC driver and install that onto your computer. You won't be able to use the driver that came with XP under Windows7.

Yeah, just go to support.asus.com and download the drivers for the NIC for your motherboard and you should be fine. In regard to the VM, once you install the appropriate NIC for your real OS, your virtual OS should be connected as well, if not, you may need to intsall the VirtualBox Guest Add-Ins (at least that's what I think they're called).

Go to ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Support- ,then go through the input section for your board to get the drivers you need.

yea i tryed i couldnt find it could you look to find it please the name of the cd is in my first message thanks

You're right, it's not there. I think you're going to have to check your motherboard model because that doesn't seem to exist. If you're not sure, you can use HWinfo32 from HWiNFO & HWiNFO32 - Hardware Information and Analysis Tools and look up the exact motherboard. I understand you don't have internet on that PC but if you can download it on another PC and use a flash drive to take it there, you should be able to see and let us know.

Ok ill get back to you on that bit first i was thinking of added a network adapter or whatever its called and then it might work and ram to so would it work if i do that becuase in my network and sharing centre under adapters nothing is there. thanks

Assuming it's a NIC for which Windows 7 has drivers included (most Realtek chipsets work), then you should have no problems.

Motherboard model : ASUS P4R8L
Motherboard chipset: ATI RAdeon 9100 IGP
Bios manufacter : AMerican Megatrends

also are you able to download a local area connection driver card because this computer doesnt have it because when i upgraded from xp to vista it wasnt there then i upgraded again because i thought it will come up then but it didnt came you help me please thanks
