Network Driver not re-installing, and Windows 8 problems
Hello. I recently got a copy of Windows 8, which I tried to install onto my Dell Inspiron N5110. In order to do so it had to uninstall my network driver. After getting to a point where it looked like Windows 8 was installed, it went to a black screen. I left it like that for a hours to see if it would do anything but it did not. I tried again to see if it it was a one time error, but it was not.
It automatically reverted to Windows 7, but now I didn't have a network driver. I used the CD which came with my laptop to attempt re-installing the driver, but it would not install for some reason. I know I would need a different version of the driver if I had Windows 8, but it didn't properly install. I'm not sure id this is a problem with my laptop, the CD, or something I'm doing wrong. Thanks in advance for any help.
Also this is my first post so if I did something wrong please let me know.

It does not seem to have done anything, as I still cannot access the internet and I never got a message saying the driver was installed. I have gone into the folder where it put the driver files and used the setup.exe, which looked like it was successful, but still nothing was different even after a restart.
