i have a USB wireless internet adapter and it was working fine for a year
but i think the driver got corrupted because i can no longer find the option to connect to wireless internet on my computer
i went to My computer>manage>devices and where i used to have three under network now i only have two
does anyone know how to get the driver back or download it from anywhere?
thanks

Hi,
your adapter should have came with an install disk, see if you can find it and then just reinstall it, the adapters web site will also be able to help you. hope this is what you want.

check your usb devices in the device manager list...if the adapter is there, its just a matter of turning the wireless networking back on through the management console. If its not listed you may need to reinstall the drivers but they will be specific to the device so check the manufacturers site. Try disconnecting the device and then hooking it into a different usb port to see if the pc recognizes its connected to something.....if it recognizes it it'll simply apply the driver to the "new" connection.....if it doesn't reinstall the driver.

The drivers are from the device maker. I suggest you connect via wired connection, go to the pc maker or device maker, and download from there. Once reloaded your wireless will work.
You must use a wired connection for this because your wireless is faulty and you cannot download via wireless due to the fault.

go to the manufacturers website and download the driver after you look in the device manager to make sure its not disabled
