I have recently installed vista and have lost my wireless network card, which is now showing as either a network controller or a unknown device inside device manager. Neither have drivers installed.

I have used Everest to try to find out the manufacturers name, make and model etc. No luck, again it says Network controller in there.

Can anybody recommend a program/method to find these details.

I have no device drivers on CD. Windows cannot find them either. (surprise)

Thanks

I'm trying to find external speakers (preferable travel-size) for my MacBook. The first set I bought had a USB hook up and wouldn't work. They showed up in the "sound" and "output" part of applications as the Logitech speakers they were, but wouldn't put out any sound. So I took them back to Best Buy and got a set that plugged in through the speaker jack (the small one -- looks like the one for headphones). They didn't work either!!!! If you know of a way to make external speakers work on a MacBook, please write and explain. Brand names, web sites, etc., are welcome. (But I don't have a lot to spend, so I'd like to keep it under $80 if possible.) Thanks!

Hi, I've searched everywhere for an answer to this, but all I'm getting are problems relating to frames-per-second, lag, etc. What my problem is, is when I'm playing any sort of recent computer game (especially Battlefield 2, but even happened on The Sims 2), my comp. runs fine with excellent FPS. But all of a sudden, at random and with no warning, the image on my screen will freeze, and my sound will start skipping like a scratched CD. And this isn't just a little burp- it does this for like 20 seconds. Then it will continue on normally once it's worked itself out. For online games, if it's too long, I will get kicked from whatever server I was on, but other than that, the game goes back to working flawlessly. I've recently installed an EVGA 7900GS vid card, and was wondering if that was the problem. It runs at pretty low temps though, so I don't know. I have a Pentium D 3.00gHz, and 2 gigs of RAM. Sorry this is so long, but if anyone knows, please help!!! Thank you in advance!!

I got everything set up and then I took the internet cord out of my PC and hooked it up to the laptop. The internet worked. Just a few hours ago, I tried to set up a wireless internet connection and it said "Please enter your password" and then it said my name that I use on my PC. I did not enter or register for anything. I did not type in my name. Could the internet cord on my PC be putting information on my laptop? And where can I retrieve this password at? Really confused, help.

Well; I have my boot device setup listed as booting from the cd/dvd drive; but after displaying the 'msi' boot screen; now when I have my Windows XP Pro SP2 disc in the drive and I try to boot from it; it says this: 'Error Booting from CD/DVD Device...Press Any Key to Reboot'....

..Well; after 'pressing any key' ; it just restarts and keeps bringing me to that screen.


Do I have a faulty drive or what do you guys think?
