Hi I'm using an asrock motherboard and I tried installing the drivers that came with it (i understand they were not windows 7 drivers) but windows will not even see that I have a network adaptor.Any idea what I can do?Des

Have you tried going to manufacturer's website and downloading latest Vista NIC driver?I had to do that for the audio drivers on a HP DC7800p.

HiTo be able w7 to see your NIC it first must be enabled in BIOS and second it must be OKTo check if windows see your NIC open device manager.(Control Panel\Hardware and Sound then click device manager)If NIC driver is installed you will see NIC under network adapters.If NIC driver is not installed at all it must be under other devices.If NIC havemarked with exclamation mark(!) then driver is installed but it is not working and you need to install better driver
