Windows 7: Realtek Network driver update help plz

this is my first time here and im am still learning about computer so plz bare with me.

i have been trying to update my realtek network driver but when i do after i restart the pc my network adapter is gone in device manger. i have to keep restarting my pc to get it to work?

i have now had to reinstall windows 7 and use the network driver that came with my motherboard, but it takes ages to conect when i start the pc and i keep getting updates saying my network driver is out of date?

can anyone please tell me which realtek network driver to use. the last time i tried the update was back in feb this year and that was the one that didn`t work.

please help

Ok, first off when you want to update the REALTEK DRIVER if you read it carfully as you are installing the new driver it will uninstall the old one first, then you have to run through the set up again to install the new driver, once it has restarted that is.

Hi markshim, the driver you require is the Windows 7 /server 2008 r2 driver Realtek

thanks guys, i`ll try the one on the realtek website coz the other one is over a year old aswell.

im just abit worried about trying it coz the last time i did it would not let me roll back and i had to get a new motherboard. but thats because i thought there was something wrong with the onboard network adapter on the motherboard. if it is the wrong one and the network adapter gets lost again and it will not roll back will a fresh install of windows 7 sort it out?

you do not have to go to that extreme System Restore and Repair Install these 2 tutorials should help you out of a fix
