Hello,
I’m reaching out to you today regarding an issue with the network card/driver.
I need to format a PC, so far so good :) It’s a HP Compaq EVO D510 EPC.
It’s a professional PC, in the company premises, I connected the PC to the internet for the first time, it worked but it was an old thing, running XP SP1 so the simplest thing for me was to reinstall it with XP SP3. Anyway, I take it home and start backing up data but I needed the internet for something and there, I can't connect via ethernet to my Freebox (it was connected via ethernet in their premises).
After a while, I let it be and tell myself that I would probably see more clearly after the reinstallation.

I reinstall, everything goes well, I find the drivers for the PC online (http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=fr &cc=fr&prodNameId=97129&prodTypeId=12454&prodSeriesId=96300&swLang=17&taskId=135&swEnvOID=1093)

All the drivers work except... of course the network one! The recommended one opens a command prompt and then closes, I tried other versions but during the installation it tells me “No Intel connection detected on this computer” and it doesn't install anything..
There is no network connection in the control panel, and nothing resembling a network controller in the device manager. I haven't dismantled the machine since it's a controller integrated into the motherboard so it's definitely connected :D

Strangely enough: I thought I would plug in a USB Wi-Fi stick, but the driver doesn't work, it installs, the utility does too, but the stick has a yellow exclamation mark in the device manager and it doesn’t recognize the driver...

Does anyone have an idea?
Configuration: Windows Seven Premium 64 Bit
Intel Core i5 - 650 (4.2 GHz)
4GB of RAM
Ati Radeon 5770 HD

A big thank you to you! And congratulations!
