Hi all,
I think this is a fairly common problem, but none of the steps in other threads I've found have seemed to help. I'll warn you now, I'm not particularly savy when it comes to the hardware side of things.
Basically, I did a system restore on a family member's laptop, and let Windows update the system pack once it finished. Once it had restarted after that, however, I couldn't connect to the internet, with Internet Explorer giving me the 'NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller Hardware Error' warning when diagnosing the problem.
I've tried updating the driver from the Nvidia website, and the Device Manager tells me that it is up to date and working properly, but that didn't seem to do anything.
The motherboard is a AMD Sempron SI-42, with a Nvidia Geforce 8200M G graphics card. I'm trying to connected to a wired network running up to a router. Other computers using this router are unaffected.
Does anyone know what I could do to try and fix this? Like I said, I'm pretty inexperienced when it comes to sorting out internet connections and things, especially with laptops.
Thanks
