NVIDIA LAN issue

Just saw storm and fish replies, will do those before trying the driver download

That should bring up a window asking whether you want remove all Nvidia drivers (default), select to uninstall the components you choose, and if it is present uninstall the "Nvidia Network Management Tools". restart if asked and then try the connection again.

Hmm, there doesn't seem to be anything called Nvidia Network management Tools

Good, if that isn't there it eliminates one possible cause (that thing has been causing problems on Nvidia motherboards since they first came out with it years ago). When you run the installer to the drivers pebbly linked to, make sure to select Custom and uncheck the "Network Management Tools".

The driver has "nForvrWinVista" in the name, should I try it anyway?

It's telling me I am running a 32 bit version of installer on a 64 bit system... oops

Damn, still doesn't work... what was I thinking buying this thing??? lol

In my opinion the first thing the Op should do is to uninstall all the bloat-ware that was preinstalled into the Op system, starting with and especially the McAfee Internet suite trial version.

After uninstalling all that you might actually be able to get online at which point you should visit the Windows Update Center to download and install the required updates for your new system. :)
