My network adaptor has disappeared after Win 7 32 bit install

[Silver007A]

It shows "unknown".

Then there are options to set up a new connection, etc.

If I try to set up a connection it states windows did not detect any networking hardware.

Very strange run a System Scan to see if there are any missing files ...

I have another idea but would like to see what the Scan report is first ...

No violations.

There is a - Network List Service - and it doesn't state "Started" next to it under Status.

Is that what you meant?

I then tried to start it and it said-
Windows could not start... Error 1068: The dependancy service or group failed to start.

I think we have found the problem ...

Read the Link below and follow the steps ..

Didn't work I'm afraid.

I opened the Regedt32 again to check the text was deleted as per instructions and it is. But, no connection.

I checked the Network List Service and it shows as "Manual". Lots of others are now showing a status where they weren't before.

See if you can start it from Services now

 

[Silver007A]

Same error.

 

[Silver007A]

Oh, sorry, The Network List Type wasn't showing as "Manual". That is the "Startup Type" that was Manual.

The Network List Type is still blank. When i try to start it it shows same 1068 error.

Well, I got my LAN working.

I passed a tiny computer shop in a village near me and popped in to ask about bringing my pc in. The lady in there asked the problem and then explained she had experienced this and suggesting installing the Vista drivers saying microsoft didn't write new drivers for the LAN for Win 7. Install Vista drivers and then Win 7 on top.

I did and it all started to work.

GREAT!

However, I then had a problem powering up my pc. I did manage it after quite a few tries and didn't think about it again. I had a few days off and am now trying to power on my pc and it is dead as a dodo again.

Could this be anything to do with changing any of the settings suggested in the links provided in this thread? Especially the WOL settings?

I've changed my power cable and used a different socket and still no power.

Thanks,

Looks like ti is because I changed the ERP Support.

Does anyone know how to get my computer on now?

:-(

I am sure you have checked all the Cables and Connections .. Is there no sign of life at all can not hear fans or light on the Motherboard etc ? ...

 

[maxie]

Settings will be under Advanced in the BIOS ...

 

[maxie]

Check here BIOS under Power Management Setup

 

[Silver007A]

No lights, fans or anything.

I've changed cables and sockets, etc.

Not good could be the PSU ....
