Windows cannot find any networks.

So just today I cleared my system or and put Windows Vista back on it. I know you have to go through and re-install drivers, but I need the internet for that and went ahead and got the internet driver from a different computer first. The problem is that after installing the driver, no networks (to include my own that I know exists) show up. I know I have the correct driver for the wireless, which is Realtek RTL8102E Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet. Any idea as to why it's not really working? When I go to Device Manager and then Network adapters to check the status on it, it says it's working properly. But it's really not. Also, the laptop is a MSI A6200 and had Windows 7 previously installed on it, if that's of any help. Thanks in advance.

Also, the little light that says it's working is on, and I've tried this ( http://www.home-network-help.com/wlan-autoconfig.html ) already.

You have installed the wired connection, you haven't installed the wireless Michelle, sorry for the bad news, you can install the wireless by going to MSI's website and clicking on live update here > MSI Global – Download Center
