    I can't connect wireless network , after re-installing windows 7


    Hey.. I've currently downloaded Windows 8.. And it took over all my Windows 7 files, and made a map Window.old.. Well,

    I went to the store to buy a New Windows 7.. And after i installed it, i noticed that i'm missing alot of features that i had on my notebook before i started re-installing/installing windows 8?


    It's missing my camera software, where i can take snapshots of myself, and i cannot connect wireless, i have to stay wired.. It seems like im running a windows version that are made for normall computers, not notebook?

    well, any idea what i can install to fix my Wireless network, thats really all i want to get done.. To fix my wireless network like i can connect to the internet wireless, and not wired as i am now..


    Thanks alot for answers!

    You have to reinstall also the manufacture's drivers for your additional hardware - WiFi, camera etc.

    You can download all the said drivers from the manufacturer website.If you fill out all your system specs it would be easier for us to help you.

    Edit: Download free version of this software http://www.piriform.com/speccy/download

    It will give you all the details you need to know about your system.That way you can easily google and search for your system drivers.

    I've got UniBlue 2012, paid version... would that do evrything for me >_>?
    I searched for this Uniblue and i wouldn't trust these driver sweeper/scanner software.

    Best option is to download speccy,take a note of all your system specs and directly visit manufacturer websites to download and install drivers.IMO

    Its easy no need to search for drivers.Just follow these steps:

    Click on start-right click on computer-select device manager.

    In device manager window there is an icon for "scan for hardware changes".Just click on that icon.Windows will automatically scan your hardware and download the required drivers for your wireless and Ethernet driver.But for bluetooth and your sound/video graphic card you need to download from manufacturer website.


    I have attached the relevant screenshot indicating the "scan for hardware" icon.
