Did you install the chipset drivers as the first drivers installed after installing Win 7?

If not, other drivers, like the network driver may not install or may not work....

I think this must be the problem. I'm gonna check it.

Thanks again :D

I installed the chipset drivers and I'm still having the same problem with the installation.

What version of BIOS is installed on this system?

Did you install both chipsets, H57 and AMT HECI?

I installed the last BIOS drivers and also the only two Chipset drivers but InstallShield Wizard is still not working.

What should I do?

If you're getting an error InstallShield error message, post the exact message here.

Are you trying to run the driver installation from your pen drive? Try copying to the file onto the desktop on the 580 and run the install from the desktop.

You should also download the network driver file again from the Dell site. This time be sure to use the Browser option, NOT the Download Manager option to download the file. Copy the new download onto the 580 desktop and try again.

Hello, i have the exact same problem.

I have tried everything in this thread but it did not work.

1. Installed all the chipset drivers and BIOS drivers

2. Installed .NET framework 4.0 and trying out some things after i read somewhere that this could be the issue.

Now im lost again, dont know what to do or try next, it seems to not want to install. It just says the installation wizard has been interrupted before it could complete.

Any help?

I found the working fix.

The fix I finally discovered was Dell Driver pack number R296613.

You download this

And then you extract the files into a folder somewhere. After that you manually direct your ethernet controller to look for the drivers in the windows 7-x64 directory.

This worked for me and i hope it works for you

Always include the version of WIndows in your posts!

Did you install the two Intet chipset drivers as the first drivers after installing Windows? Without the chipset drivers, the ethernet driver either won't install or won't work correctly.

Did you install the correct ethernet driver for your system? There are drivers for this system for Centrino wireless, bluetooth, Fast Ethernet, etc. You need to know exactly what hardware you have so you can install the correct ethernet driver. You can try looking for the drivers using your Service Tag number at the support site. (Do NOT post Service Tag number here!)

I know that the link previously given does not seem to work or they remove the driver. I had the same issue on my Inspiron 580S with the network Driver on Win7 professional 64 bit. I looked up R296613 and I found another dell link where the driver is available. After you download and extract to your desktop, install manually from computer management and voila. ! it works .

Here is the link:  http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/04/driverdetails?driverid=YMHGV

Hope it helps others.

That driver does not work. I continue to have network issues due to this R250303 driver problem following my reinstallation of the Dell system files to my Windows 7 operating system just after replacing my hard drive. The "Needs Troubleshooting" symbol stays present on my Ethernet box.

My desktop system now shuts down without cause, and I won't call Customer Service because your customer service is about making a dime rather than servicing people. And I have made a vow to never purchase another Dell system as long as I live and that is sad because up until now all of them came from Dell.
