I am on the screen and all 3 USBs don't work and i plugged in ethernet cable and that doesnt work as well. How am I suppose to get my drivers for this please help! Thanks guys

    Does Device Manager list your network controller? If there is a problem with that, log on using an Admin account and see if you can update the driver (keep your Cat5 cable plugged in). If that problem can be solved, then the USB problem might be able to be solved afterwards. Keep us posted, Good Luck!
