Ethernet Controller Driver Is Not Istalling

Posted on  by 

I installed windows 7 about 3 months ago and have been having trouble downloading updates since. I get the message that there is no driver installed for the network controller and this is causing problems in other areas. Right click on 'Ethernet Controller' and select 'Update Driver Software.' Select 'Browse my computer for driver software'. Select 'CD Drive (E:) virtio-win-0.1.1' and click OK. Device Manager will automatically find the correct driver. The path to the driver does not need to be specified. At the prompt click 'Install'. The driver is installed. Ethernet Controller drivers for this device are not installed Code 28. My Acer Aspire (previously Windows 7 Home Premium) was a sluggish computer, was too many useless programs I have installed. I wanted to start all over and reinstall Windows 7 using a disc.

No Internet & No Drivers after a Fresh Install of Windows OS

“My laptop had a virus so I installed a new fresh version of Windows 7, now that is done I quickly realize that I can't access the Internet due to there being no drivers installed. The wireless drivers and every other Internet driver are not installed. I am trying to install from USB stick but not installing, please tell me what should I do?' --- Quoted from Spice Community

This is not a rare problem. A majority of users who do a clean install of Windows ever encountered this embarrassing situation: no Internet connection on the computer. Lots of users can't access the Internet after reinstalling Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7, Windows XP, and if you've updated to the new Windows 10, you've probably got this no Internet issue. 'How to check my computer to install Lan driver? How to solve and prevent this problem?' This is what I will demonstrate today in this article.
