Help me with my laptop? Missing drivers after reboot
I reinstalled win 7 pro 32bit on my laptop, ( Toshiba Sattelite l655 s5191 ) and of course something had to go wrong. I have no network adapters, or drivers. In other devices I have the ethernet controller, network controller, a\nd PCI simple communications controller. ) So I can't even hook up an ethernet to my laptop to have internet.

So anyone know what to do? I've been trying to get the correct drivers for like 5 hours now, and none of them do anything after installing them. It's really a pain, and I reinstalled win7 twice already, each time no network adapters.

Question 1, why are there no network adapters after installing win 7 again?

Question 2, does anyone know how to solve this problem??

Thanks in advance, LG usually helps me with all my techy problems :)

Got to Toshiba's website. Click the support/drivers link (or something similar) and enter your laptop's model. It'll have downloads for all the drivers you need. Once they're downloaded put them on a usb stick, take it to the laptop and install the drivers.

This.

Toshiba is possibly the stupidest company, and decided they needed super special drivers specifically for them.

Installed and downloaded all of those drivers, none of them did anything. Still no network adapters or devices in the device manager.

Did your computer come with a driver CD or a Restore CD? If not then you'll have to manually google all the parts and see if they have the right drivers, and make sure they get installed correctly, if they're not for the OS it originally came with it probably won't work.
