Networks pc cant get on the internet

Hi all
ive just put the pc on in the bedroom and it wont let me go on the interned, keeps saying no driver installed yet when i try and put the downloaded driver into the pc it says half way through the instilation "the realtek network controller was not found. if deep sleep mode is enabled please plug the cable" ???
any ideas guys

 

Are you sure you are installing the right driver?

Are you sure the network adapter is plugged in?

 

Yes its the right driver and the cable is plugged in...we shut it down last night, turned it on this morning and it said windows has recovered from a problem (words to that effect) and no internet no matter what i do lol
thanks matey

 

Run chkdsk on the hard drive to look for corruption. Turn off all power saving in windows and the bios,remove the network card in device manager, run ccleaner (or a.n.other prog) over your registry. Restart the pc and the windows driver should find and run the realtek card.

 

Ill give it a go unlikey...cheers matey
take care

 

All sorted now thanks unlikey

 

What was the problem?

 

I havent a clue...i just done what unlikey said "removed the network card in device manager, run ccleaner" and re booted all was sorted..???????

 

Hope you gave rep to the chap then.
