I just got my Windows 7 Operating System disc in the post yesterday afternoon, because my computer needed a restore to factory settings.

I completed the re-install.

But can't connect or even find my Wi-Fi or any connections around my street area witch I normally can scan for even on my phone.

I spent all night looking at the settings and did some research (on my dads laptop) and come to the conclusion that it maybe my Network Adapter.

Now, before I reinstalled Windows, the Connection and everything was fine, I think re-installing Windows MAY of corrupted the Adapter...I'm not sure.

I can't even find it in the Device Manager to Uninstall and reinstall.

Can anyone PLEEEEEEASE help me, I really need to get online and start downloading security protection programmes and getting my PC up-to-date with everything.

And with my Graphics card, my computer can't detect it to use it for games like GTA IV, it's just got the basic look with black borders.

Any help would be awesome!!!!

If there are, it just means that the drivers for those devices aren't installed. Which is common if they send you generic recovery discs(which is a common thing they do). All you have to do in that case is go to the manufacturer's website, go to their drivers section and search for your model of computer and download those drivers and then transfer them via usb to the computer, or in most cases you'll have the driver to plug directly in via ethernet if you're able to do that.
