Answer 1

Go to device manager. Find the Network Adapter category and expand it. Right click the adapter with the yellow or red flag. Choose properties. Click details tab and select hardware IDs on the drop-down menu. You will see a line like: PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8168&SUBSYS_816810EC&REV_02. In this example, 10EC (Vendor ID) and 8168 (device ID). Once you have the codes, go to http://www.pcidatabase.com/ and look up the vendor and device names. Google the Vendor and Device names with the word driver in the Google search box. Pick a manufacturer site or reputable site for your download, not those bogus sites, that offer to sell driver software.

Answer 2

What is the number of the network adapter? Name brand too.





Sometimes is best to update the driver manually and select the ***.inf file from the files you got from the internet. Instead of using the auto installation program.



Also you can use a Windows Vista Driver for it since fully compatible with windows 7.



You might have downloaded the 32bit version and you need to get the 64bit version. 32bit drivers do not work on 64bit versions of windows.
