1.	Solve : Windows vista missing network Drivers?
Answer» I have Toshiba laptop (Satellite U505-S2925BN), upgraded from VISTA to Win7, every thing is working fine except when I checked the drivers on the device manager I found a question mark under other devices and when I open it I found 4 drivers missing: Base system Device (2 times), NETWORK CONTROLLER, and unknown device. I also noticed that my wireless is not working it is not detecting my router and I can not connect to internet any more. When I click on the question mark I got this message "The drivers for this device are not installed (Code 28)" I have tried to find these drivers on Toshiba site with no help. All drivers are available except this one...please helpYou need to start by installing the correct chipset driver for Windows 7Hi Allan, I have DONE as per your advice, but the problem still the same. Can I just use me back up CD's and install vista back???The drivers are on your laptop Driver CD...not in Vista. Sometimes the generic ones work...but it doesn't seem it's the case this time. Travel to Toshiba's site and enter your model/serial # to find the correct ones...Patio I don't have dreivers CD's on my Lap top. I went to Toshiba site and downloaded the driver wirless LAN for win 7 (Driver wi fi Atheros) this one solved 2 problems .

Have you tried to set up your wireless network from scratch in Control Panel ? ?The problem, I am still having a question mark under the NETWORK CONTROLLER. So I guess I have a driver missing which I can not locate it on the Toshiba website???Post a screenshot of Device Manager...http://www.mypicx.com/04252010/computer/ See the link above the first picture is for the device manager when Vista was installed and the second one is the latest one after win7 with a question mark under the network controllerI see no ? in the 2nd one...
