aspire 5750 can't find network driver

keithcindy

Our Aspire 5750-6667 died recently while installing about 15 Windows Updates.

 

I got new Windows disks, and re-installed the OS, but I can't get any network connectivity.

 

When I try to connect to the internet, I get "Windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter.  If you have a network adapter, you will need to re-install the driver".  I guess the driver is not on the Windows 7 installation disks I purchased from Microsoft?

 

I can't find any info on the Acer site as to which adapter is in this machine.

 

If I look in Device Manager, I see "Ethernet Controller" and "Network Controller", but neither has a driver, and both say "the device isn't using any resources because it has a problem".

 

Can I fix this?

 

Thanks!

Cindy

 

Edited to add:  Got it fixed.

Good day

 

Please download the hardware detect utility: Need to know the hardware on your system to choose the right driver?

 

There is also only 1 driver available for download for LAN: http://support.acer.com/us/en/product/default.aspx?tab=1&modelId=3474

For Wireless card, please use the utility. Also download the Launch Manager so you can switch the wireless on and off.
