OK. Since you didnt say you already did this.. I will ask(yeah its a noob question, but sometimes forgoten) Rightclick on "My computer" tehn go to "properties" then go to the "Hardware" tab. Then go to "Device Manager" Then check your network adapters, nad see if your network card is in there. It may be that your network card got uninstalled. Or that your NIC is fried... Anyhoo get back to us. Thanks, nameless9
click start / settings ( may not be there) / control panel / admin tools / services . make sure tcp ip is started and sutomatic. make sure dhcp client is started and running.
thanks guys...i had already done what you said nameless but thanks for helping...when i did what DVDBURNUP suggested my net started working...but my roommate was messing with the router at the same time so it couldhave been either...although when i checked on what you said the items where disabled in the list...now the other problem..theres still not ONE damn item in my device manager..no sound card, nothin...help again please.....
if you have the cd that came with your motherboard, instert that into ur cd rom and run the setup for sound and audio devices, secondly if your using a built in vga, install the vga drivers from the cd as well actually it would be best if u installed all the drivers on ur motherboard cd, incase u don't have the cd, and u know the model number of your motherboard, just go to the manufacturer's website and look for ur motherboard under products/download section and download all drivers available and install them incase u don't know ur motherboards make and model, download a software called CPU-Z, its less an 1MB i think, it will give u information about your mainboard/motherboard and just google for that or go to the manufacturers website and get the drivers oh and under device manager double click on the first option in the list which should be ur computer name to make sure its expanded, a plus sign shows its in compact state and a negative sign shows its expanded, when its expanded you should be able to see all your computer components
in device manager , nothing, not even your pc at the top ? if you just have a pc icon and the name of your pc, click the + sign to the right.
