it might just be that you have not installed the right driver...its not justy a network driver...there are different network driver maker for Dell, so you have to be sure you are downloading the right one...you should also take note that there are also different drivers for different operating systems, also check if its 32bit or 64bit


i think you should download Realtek

Did you downgrade the system or what?

If you got the system and its still not working maybe you are installing a different driver for your operating system. What was the os that came with the system. Why did you format it? and whats the current status of your system.

ever heard of 'driverpack'....if u can get the cd..just insert it into ur system and it would help u drive ur system..and even update the drivers..on request, I can provide u a copy of the updated driver pack cd..
dell drivers have a lot of dependencies on other drivers to work..so even if u go to their website,u would see 'recommended' on almost all there drivers and wont know which to pick..
I simply use driverpack...

flama: Gurus in the house pls help, i just changed the hard drive of my HP Dv3, and i can't get all the initial function again, even the fingerprint also is not working anymore. I've lost the recovery disk that came with laptop. Pls how can get all this function back.
be advised,next time before u change ur hard drive or reformat,u can always backup ur drivers using a driver backup software.
solution is simple,if u have the time,goto to hp download page and specify ur model..the drivers would be up for download else u can hire a professional to help u drive..give me a call on 08061679732 for further assistance
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by sameolg616(m): 5:43pm On Apr 04, 2013
adewasco2k:

First was the old hard disk damaged? Is NO, all you need to get your PC runing well is inside...the DRIVERS....so I will say if you have the old hard disk and its still working, get an adaptor, connect the old hard disk to your PC look at this directory....C:/SwSetup copt the folder "Swsetup" all the drivers are inside.

Secondly, if the above is not possible, if you know anybody with same PC as yours, copy the SWsetup folder from them to your PC.

Finally resort, visit HP website and download the missing drivers, you have to download a driver for your own operating system...(E.g windows 7)


<--To explain few things-->
Goto device manager on your PC (right click on My Computer, click device Manager)
Look at the different drivers and take note of the once with a yellow icon, those are the missing drivers...so you will install them from the SWsetup folder. Some might not show at all, like webcam driver and so on....so just look inside the Swsetup folder or download the drivers for things you think is missing and install
ur quote in bold print is quite imcomplete and misleading.before u can copy swsetup folder from a similar system,so many conditions have to be put into consideration:
1.are the both running the same os build...eg,for many reasons,i may have downgraded my dv3 to xp or upgraded to win8..that means if u were to copy my swsetup folder then it would not conform with the hardware archietecture of the other computer..it would always return a hardware error
2..in some cases,some drivers are designed to work only with certain hardwares...eg...a laptop with a nvdia graphics card require nvdia drivers..and not amd catalyst drivers..same goes for wireless adapters..Broadcom vs intel pro
sound---realtek drivers wont work on other hardwares

boyoo922: I have problem with my Laptop,it keeps hanging all the time,I have reloaded d OS many times but it still always thesame thing.kindly give a helping hand.
quite simple,ur hard drive is weak and is fast generating more bad sectors..the more u format,the more u live to fight another day.modern day laptops have been equipped with a hard drive intelligence called S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology; often written as SMART) is a monitoring system for computer hard disk drives to detect and report on various indicators of reliability, in the hope of anticipating failures.

When a failure is anticipated by S.M.A.R.T., the user may choose to replace the drive to avoid unexpected outage and data loss. The manufacturer may be able to use the S.M.A.R.T. data to discover where faults lie and prevent them from recurring in future drive designs.
[/i][i]
either it has been disabled on ur system or u don't have it..else it wld have reported the state of ur hard disk.
solution:
1.first backup any important data on that hard drive
2.using special tools I can regenerate the hard drive...ie..if sector 236 has been marked as bad,data in it would be moved into another healthy sector then regenerated...else it wld be marked as BAD so dat data is not written into it..a clear example is shown in ur complaint...if u were to save a file on sector 236,retrieving info from that sector becomes impossible thus making ur system unstable and eventually resulting in a bsod(blue screen of death).u may later result to reformatting the system and u can now safely save the same file else where.its just a matter of time before u will need to write in dat sector in the future then ur stuck in the same situation again.
3..in some very rare cases,so bad sectors may not be regenerated so its always aadvisable to replace the hard drive but some data may still be retrieved before replacement.
4..make sure ur smart monitor is on,that way u can know the real state of ur hard drive evn if u just replaced it or its getting bad

Let me explain d difference btw a commercial (licensed) ntivirus.a licensed anti-virus is very potent and gives u access to the providers servers to get update daily against recent threats nd attacks while ur free antivirus is limited in functionality and may not respond to attacks.anyday,I'd recommend a licensed antivirus.I still boost of d best kaspersky tools around(even with d ones kspersky aint aware of)trial resetters,kaspersky key checkers,daily keys..I don't just recommend it cuz I know it very well but because of its ratings,low ram usuage,effectiveness and most importantly 'its user-friendly'..r u not entertained,grab a copy now!

I applauded your professional and technical advice.
The driver pack is highly rated to get the job done.
It's my last resort after using all the options available to me
