Are you able to make a restore Disk? Was Windows 7 the original OS?

You might need to restore your OS as a Last resort

@bill, it just brings me back to the network and sharing screen

Thankyou for replying in plain english. Run a sfc scan to fix any corrupted system files.

i have thought of doing this, when i got it i had no restore points at all on the computer, it does have a cd/dvd/bluray burner (not so sure it burns blurays but never tried either but not the point) if i made a restore disk would that restore it back to like new factory condition as for software? there is really nothing on here that i have to have that i can't just get off my desk top or external or just find online again.. rocket docks are free

@bill, going for it now will let you all know the out come in a minute

It will restore it back to when the original Owner turned it on - Includes all software that was on there when the owner turned it on

Please follow Bills advice first though

well guys just got done running.. here is the outcome..

 

[Bill2]

Have you tried uninstalling the network adapter in device manager, then rebooting and letting windows detect it?

Other than this, i'm out of ideas.

 

[mosh3x6]

yes i have, ive tried uninstalling it and letting it find it and ive uninstalled it and rebooted.. same outcome well thank you guys, you have taught me much! i guess im just going to make a system restore disk and rock on from there. i was wanting to restore it to factory when i got it but thought that if made a restore disk it would just restore it to the current condition but obviously i was wrong. ill give it a wack.. just one question.. do this to a DVD or a CD? im going to guess a DVD??

 

[Bill2]

DVD or DVDs.

small update found out just now playing with the laptop that if i hold F10 it does have a restore feature.. instructions were wrong or being from SC i just can't read good LOL

No Probs - Sorry for not finding another Solution but I have to be honest , I was baffled by this case

 

[mosh3x6]

as was i.. but sometimes its best to just back up and punt! with XP i typically pull what i want off and redo it every year to year and half..
