Thanks for any help,i don't know that much about computers.

Is the router showing up when you try to connect in the network and sharing center ?

I just gotta ask, If you had no problems with the 32 Bit why did you reinstall ?

Welcome to SF.

Please enter your system specs:

Check your Device Manager for any yellow marks. I want to make sure your wireless network is working.

router

no its not showing up at all.I changed from 32 bit,because the hard drive was making some noise,so I did a fresh install of 64 bit.

As Lemur suggested check your wireless adaptor in Device Manager to make sure it`s there and the drivers are installed. I assume this is a laptop ?

So your using the wireless card in your desktop to try to connect to the router then ?
Have you checked Device Manager ?

Right click on that and update driver. If it does not work you will have to go to your pcs makers website and look for the drivers. They may not have them for 64 bit. What is the make and model of the pc.

Your best option is to connect your pc to the router with your ethernet cable and do all the windows updates. 9 times out of 10 this will find and install any drivers you need.

my computer is at the other side of the house,and I tried to install a updated driver,but I can't get on the internet,plus it said unknown name of driver.Do you think if I got another wireless card,that would help?? I am really dumb about this stuff.

Yes it would, just make sure it has drivers for windows 7 64 bit. Doing updates will only take an hour or so. Being Saturday nite I would just move the computer for a bit. These are things you have to think about b4 you do an install.

Also if you would post your specs as mentioned earlier, we might have been able to direct you to the correct driver.
