recently i have experienced wireless connectivity problems after a windows update, i cannot connect to any network. I discovered one of my networking drivers was faulty and after taking advice i reinstalled windows 7 completely. After completing this however i still could not connect and now i have a problem with the PCI simple communications controller. Please could someone advise me on how the repair this driver and ultimately fix my connectivity problems.

Hi andypoole163, Welcome to the forums , Have you re-installed the network driver ? If you would be so kind and tellus the make/model of your computer we will be able to help you further

no i haven't yet because i don't know where the re-install the driver from after i have uninstalled it, my computer is a dell studio xps 8100

Go here Drivers & Downloads and download the network driver suitable for the card you have :)

Or to make it easier for you , Enter your service tag # which should be located on the back of the pc on Dells website and that will give you only the drivers suitable for your PC :)
