Have you checked and install Windows Updates?

 

[gregrocker]

Why are you installing a bunch of drivers in a driver-complete OS? Did you think this is still XP?

The steps to get a perfect install are all in Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7

Have the Wireless drive in your backup so if it's not provided by the installer you can install it to get online. Then enable Automatically deliver drivers via Windows Update (Step 3).

Run all rounds of Important and Optional Updates to completion, including required reboots. Keep going back for more Updates until they are complete. You can set up your desktop and install programs at the same time.

Any drivers still missing in Device Manager can be found on the Support Downloads webpage for your PC model. Other tips for HP's are included in the tutorial.

Are you able to confirm that the drivers have installed? Has your original problem been solved?

As with the link issue, I am not entirely sure... How are you going about creating the links?

Shockingly i installed the drivers and then rebooted and it's not showing up as installed .

I have followed that process numerous times and this one particular driver is always missing.

 

[gregrocker]

What is exact driver? Can you show us the link where you've downloaded it?

 

[herbc]

Here is the driver, i usually just use Slim drivers but Shadowjk gave me the link in his posts and unfortunately it didn't work.

I should note that even trying to update driver from following instructions it never is able to find it online or on the computer, it's the only one that always goes missing.


The pic on the left is the drivers i usually install after Win 7 is installed from an ISO disk, do i need these and which ones are necessary for install. I install Win 7 then these drivers and then install Win 7 updates.

I don't understand the Win 7 is driver complete comment when i need to install all these extras.

On the second image the properties window can you click on the Details tab and on the drop down menu under property choose Hardware Ids and take a PrntScrn of that and upload the image .

Try to install the Driver below

Intel Centrino Wireless-N + WiMAX 6150

 

[herbc]

Yeah, it downloaded but after it supposedly installed it's still not showing as installed in device manager.

Does this help

That's the driver I posted on Post #28 . Have you tried restarting the PC ?

 

[herbc]

Yes, i always reboot after but still does not show.

 

[herbc]

This thing is not being recognized no matter what i do, i don't even think i need it.

 

[DavidE]

The screen print in Post #30 is displaying the Device Description, not the Hardware IDs VistaKing asked for.
Click on Hardware Ids in the drop down list to display them.

I don't know if these questions were asked already, but if they haven't

Have you tried uninstalling the device in Device Manager, rebooting, and let Windows rediscover the device?
Could a faulty Centrino chip in the MB be causing this issue?

Would testing with a Linux OS help determine if there is a Hardware problem?

 

[herbc]

OK thanks, was not sure what that was or where to find them.

Yes i tried that and it still cant find them, thanks though.

 

[Layback Bear]

You might of already tried this but it's hard for me to tell.

Right click on the chosen hardware and select Update Driver.
Then select Browser my Computer.
Then select Let me Pick.
You might have more than one choice; pick one and select Next.

What makes you think you need to supply all of those drivers? That's XP-era installation procedure, not Win7.

Again, Win7 is driver-complete in the installer and once you get online to enable Automatically deliver drivers via Windows Update (Step 3) then run all rounds of Important and Optional Windows Updates to completion - when prompted for reboot, after it restarts go back to check for more Updates until there are none.

Then you only need to install the drivers which are still missing in Device Manager, from the Support Downloads webpage for your PC or device model - not an outdated disk or driver file.

If you didn't install your OS this way then you didn't do it correctly. We stopped needing to install a bunch of drivers into a fresh install after XP ten years ago.

I would start over and follow these steps to get and keep a perfect Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7.

This is the second time I wrote all of this out for you. Yesterday we had a case where I wrote it out four times and when the OP actually did it correctly was when his install problem was resolved after several days. Why is it so hard to understand?

 

[Layback Bear]

I'm thinking their is a chance that the drivers were downloaded but not installed.
