Hi please update your system specs, on this link http://www.sevenforums.com/profile.php?do=extra
use this to help you : http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/180324-system-info-see-your-system-specs.html

EDIT: Also i see it says code 28, This means that the drivers for that hardware piece are not installed.

Do you have a working Internet connection on that computer?

I assume the yellow exclamation mark is in Device Manager?

I'd go to HP web site, enter your asset tag number, and locate the Ethernet driver.

BUT, if I my PC was working well and I did have an Internet connection, I might not do anything.

Says i need to install the following versions of the .NET Framework: v4.0.30319

 

[Skylais]

Download: Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (Standalone Installer) - Microsoft Download Center - Download Details
there is net framework 4, you could put on a portable device such as a USB and then transfer the setup on the computer without the internet connection.
Otherwise we could try this. Type "performance information and tools" Once open click, "view and print detailed performance and system information" Take a screenshot of it, like the following i took. Then please upload it to next post.

Allan9, Welcome to the windows 7 forums.
It looks to me that your motherboard was manufactured by them for another OEM.
I would go to intel and look for a generic ethernet drivers.
I see where people in other forums have had problems getting drivers for the Pegatron motherboard.
Do you have any idea where your father bought the computer? it might help to get back to the manufacturer
and see if there is a disk that came with the computer.

This is a real hard one to diagnose. I bet it is a Intel Ethernet card, Although, windows 7 comes with a lot of built in drivers for Intel ethernet adapters. Give it a shot to uninstall the ethernet port in the devices menu and see if when it reboots, it will find and install a driver. Making sure to not have the box checked to do not try to find driver on next boot.

Rich

PS: Sorry that I can't be of more help but your problem is pretty unique. It is one of the faults of buying no-name clone systems without a driver disk.

Follow the screenshot, sorry cause its in spanish but menus and stuff should be exactly at the same locations, so we can see the hardware ID of your network card and lead you to the correct driver.

is it this and they gave it to my dad as a gift and i didnt bring no cd

 

[Skylais]

Whats your computer model and manufacturer? So we can look up the specs of it.
to check do this "performance information and tools" Once open click, "view and print detailed performance and system information.
or right click "computer", "properties" "performance information and tools",and then "view and print detailed information"
should be the 1st two under the category of system.

You almost got it. Left click on "Device description", then select "Hardware Ids"
Post a screenshot of it.
Your screen shot should look like this........
