Windows 7 Pro 64 bit Network hardware not detected

Hellow,

Can someone tell me how to do this, SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker? When I click on "run" for command prompt it says that I have to be the administrator to use this command. How do I get in command prompt as an administrator?
I can access it under just command prompt but I cant run a scan.

Thanks

Maxie, Administrator does not come up when I type in CMD. It says C\:Windows\system32\cmd.exe.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, That worked. Now I will try the other procedure that you mentioned to see why I still can't connect to the internet

Try loading defaults in BIOS (Setup when you first start the PC, either in the first screen or exit menu).

Then download and make a bootable DVD/USB for Linux Mint MATE (you can use Rufus to make a bootable USB with the downloaded ISO file). Boot with it (no install needed) and see if you have a connection. If not, I would say NIC has gone bad.

Hey Maxie,

I did the CMD and it came back with "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations". So here I still sit with no internet connection. What next?

Thanks

I don't understand what could have happened. the computer was working fine one minute. Then i cut it off for a few hours and come back. the computer has a crash and I do the restore and everything works fine except the network. I don't understand what GoKay is saying. I told you all I was very new at this and don't want to do any damage to the system.

Thanks for trying though
