I did that and it tells me it can't find any besides I didn't install it yet. One of the drivers I need is for the network adapter. Once I get that and I'm able to get online I can do it all on theToshiba. Right now I'm using the acer.

That makes absolutely no sense....

What have you done so far to what? Keep it simple....like is Win 7 installed on the Toshiba (or whatever machine it's going on)?

Win7 is installed on the Toshiba. I thought all the most common drivers came with the OS.

The OS comes with enough to get you up and running. You still need to to go to Toshiba Support, enter in your model number and download the original drivers specific to that laptop. Also get any updates listed.

Uvah....whatever you do you MUST follow yrag's advice.

Failure to do so will see you being ridiculed relentlessly and called all sorts of horrible names.

I know.

I have been there....[sob] ....

They do...

Control Panel/ Device Manager/ Network Adapter - is there a yellow exclamation point or a red 'X' next to it? (My guess is 'no')

If not, it's working. Set up the network/Wi-Fi settings in 'Network and Sharing Center. (make sure Wi-Fi is enabled and the light is 'on')

If there is, right click: Properties/ Driver/ Update Driver/ Browse my computer for driver/ Let me pick from list......

 

Find your adapter.

Stop downloading and installing shit.
I wish you were not so subtle.  Can you just tell Uvah what he should or shouldn't do instead of all these hints?

I'm still unsure why Yrag told me to turn off system restore, but he did, and I did.

 

Despite being scary, ugly, smartassed, and all around obnoxious, I love the guy. He knows his shit.

In your case, it is maybe the cause of your problem... but a yellow exclamation point don't always mean a problem... for example, in my case, i have 2 ! :

- PS/2 Compatible Mouse -> ACPI\PNP0F13\5&6B1A51C&0 -> This device is not present, is not working properly, or does not have all its drivers installed.

Well, i have a PS/2 port ( round connector ) but i use a USB mouse... not really a problem...

- RAID Controller -> PCI\VEN_9005&DEV_041F&SUBSYS_818015D9&REV_09\5&79943F7&0&100318 -> The drivers for this device are not installed.

In this case, i have a hardware raid who is configured in the bios... if i use the windows driver, it mess up everything and ignore all my ext3 partition, same if the ext3 driver for windows is installed...

What is really slow is that you need so much time for solve your problem... remote diagnostic via a forum is not the more easy and faster way...

Take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Team_viewer ... it is a very usefull little software... use it for diagnostic and repair computer that i have installed without the need to visit my customer... a lot of my customer don't make any upgrade too, one conection by month and i install remotly all the update ( windows, java, flash, etc )... the tool allow somebody to take control of your computer and make the job for you... beware, to use only with somebody that you trust completely, like yrag by example...

A short video who show how to use it for remote support :

Provider unknow, ... , not signed = no problem ... certify a driver via microsoft cost money... a lot of hardware fabricant don't certify driver for win7...

As for the "not valid win32 application"... is your instalation of Win7 a 32bit or a 64 bit instalation ? Look like you have instal win7 32 bit and download the win7 64 bit driver...

Edit ; http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000726.htm , see cause number 2

While you're scratching your head for that, look in Device Manager/ Network Adapter: Intel or Atheros?

Sorry, you posted at the same time I did. There is no light for the wi-fi. F8 turns it on or off but there is no indicator.

I did get the video driver for it. Extracted the archive and clicked on the setup.exe. Its encrypted.
