Dual boot XP and Win7. No network connections Win 7??
I have been having a conflict with Win7 and nVidia 9600gt. Latest firmware. Problem possibly worsened by just-installed Synology DS209 NAS.
Win7 boots, then black screen, right after weird colors on Win7 Welcome screen. Computer seems to be running ok, but no display. Turn off power supply and reboot.
In going back and forth removing nVidia display drivers, I have somehow lost network connectivity with Win7 in regular or Safe mode (with networking). Can't reach internet or even my home network.
I still have network connectivity with WinXP (I am using that boot on the same machine, right now), so this must not be a hardware issue. I am guessing software, maybe lost or corrupted drivers? There seems to be some connection with the nVidia and nForce Network drivers?
I did re-install nVidia drivers, hoping to get back network connectivity, but when I went into regular Win7, got black screen again. Works ok in Safe mode, but no network there, now, either.
Other computers on my home network are connecting to network and internet.
Anyhow, I am at a loss to fix this and welcome any suggestions.
