    Right click my computer go to properties and then device manager.

    You will see a yellow explanation mark on the devices that are missing drivers.

    Obviously if the network adapter is missing the driver you will need another machine to download the missing drivers.

    OK TK....is a brand new windows 7 box.....I bought for my mum. Now I could just go and reformat the whole thing but there's no need for that I'm sure. the thing is clean as a whistle, I just want to get it back online. Connected it (wire) to the router.....can you help after that?

    check the device manager like I said in my previous post.

    After that

    Press the windows key
    type cmd and hit enter

    type ipconfig/all

    post the results
