Many people find that they can not access the network after reinstalling their operating system, even though there is no problem in the network, and every necessary device to build a computer has been set up properly. Most of the time, it is the reason that there is no network adapter driver installed in your computer when reinstalling the system, so that the network is unable to be accessible. Problems like hardware failure because of no drivers to drive it are quite common, and you can refer to the following aspects when troubleshooting:
One, if your network interface controller is able to support plug and play, problem solving becomes easier. What you need is a Windows 95/98 operating system or above, that would automatically identify the net card driver and drive the net card in its own way.
Two, if your network adapter can not support the plug and play function because of your interface card's compatibility problems, but your system still can detect and find out the appropriate drivers, you have to choose one and install it manually. Usually Windows will prompt that whether the driver is compatible to your card when finishing the installation.
Three, if the two approaches above are not feasible, you need to find out your network adapter's original driver: open the box, take off the net card and find out its make and model. You can recur to the search engine or go to some large driver download website to get the appropriate driver. When you come across such issue and can not find your driver, usually you can start to check it from the hardware itself: take it off from the place it was and note down its brand and model, of course, which requires you to have some common sense on hardware.
However, what if you can not find the hardware's information by the method I mentioned before? Don't worry! We also have a very convenient trick. Nowadays, there are many easy to use driver manager tools that can help you not only backup, restore, fast scan to identify and update your drivers automatically, but also deeply analyze and quickly fix your driver problems, and Driver Checker is among those best, it is very powerful, professional and user-friendly. You will find more once you download Driver Checker.
