There is a program I think its called Intel Wireless. It says "Wireless adapter not found" or "Wireless adapter driver not found" When I go into the program and click repair, it has a little check mark on everythign except two things, Administrator and Pre logon which I have no idea what they are.
I want to re-emphasize the fact that if you did not install the chipset drivers and notebook system software before even attempting to install other device drivers, that Windows will never be able to recognize nor properly install the driver for your wireless network adapter. The Intel utility will get installed, but the drivers won't. So, ifyou have any doubt about the order of installation, you might want to first try uninstalling all drivers, then installing the chipset drivers and notebook system software and then installing the other drivers. Sometimes this works, but most of the time users have to start all over, reformatting, reinstalling Windows, and the installing the drivers in the correct order.
It would be great if you could point out what to install first then what next, etc. Also, if needed, I'll re-install Windows, but if not, how do you go about uninstalling the drivers?

Good point,
Not sure if I did that first. Here is the page for the drivers.

There is a FAQ at the top of this forum. One of the items in that FAQ takes you to the following which you might find helpful:

You uninstall a device by going into Device Manager, selecting the device, right clicking, then clicking on Uninstall.
