No it's the chipset drivers that you should be downloading.:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0 -

So did you download a 64 bit version of the driver?:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0 -

"tanto" has very good advice here , have you looked to see if there are any yellow exclamation marks against your network adapters ,or even if the adapters are there ! !
If you have them , it should just be a case of uninstalling the network adapters , via device manager and then reboot . Your drivers will reinstall on reboot
