Windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter.

Okay, so I felt clustered with files on my computer and I just wanted to reset my computer and reinstall windows. So I put in the disk and reinstalled windows completely and when it finished I tried to connect to my wifi (it's working completely fine) and I get this little message "No connections are available". So I troubleshooted the problem on windows and it's telling me Install a driver for your network adapter. I watched all these videos from my phone and they're telling me to find my network adapter driver when I don't know where it is. If anyone can help, I have a Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit Custom Build pc and I also have a AMD-NVIDIA AND68B-12 driver dvd and I tried putting it in and reinstalling the drivers from there but it just led to some cmd looking page asking if I had Windows 2000, XP or some other version I don't own. Please help...

Hi Tyle,
comps can have
Network Adapter --- for Ethernet
Network Adapter --- for Wifi.

If you can use your wifi its the Ethernet driver you need.
Please go to
Device manager
You will either have to Expand Network adapters or look a problem device.

Which ever it is select it
Then RIGHT click > properties > details > scroll to hardware ids,
What is the PCI/VEN info.

There is no network adapters folder to expand in device manager.

hi do you have errors in other devices section? if so then those will need drivers. post a screen shot of device manager so we can see what you are seeing. can transfer the screen shot to a working computer to post it here.

How do I post a picture?

I'm on my phone using this and I don't know how to add a picture.. I have no other computers

I know how to do all that stuff but I don't have a computer to do it. I'm on my phone that's the only reason I can't upload in pics.

take picture with phone and use phone to upload it to here. follow second link in post 7

what is listed under other devices in device manager?

since you have not listed the parts in your custom desktop computer whats the make and model of your motherboard? you should of gotten a disk with the motherboard it should have the drivers for the network adapter on it.
