I'm fixing a friends laptrop, and have recovered al the drivers for the computer, even the network adapter driver that i need to access the internet and install updates, but no, instead the driver for the internet cannot start, I've done everything I know and that I can find to repair it, I even used a recommended registry cleaner, that froze on startup and killed my other computer to constantly re-installing.

The problem is I have no idea why it won't get fixed, and I don't think it is fault hardware as it worked before I had to format the computer (the computer had viruses, I couldn't back up the dirvers).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,


It can happen becuase of alot of reasons, for instance, it can happen because of collations in the memory allocations of the hardware devices. Or, it could happen becuase of uninstallations of softwares that didn't finish their unistallation.

Post the Make and exact Model of the machine. There is usually a sticker on the side, back, or bottom of the unit with this info. If there is a SERVICE TAG post this as well.
