    Rebotted windows 7 now can not find wireless connections
    My dell Latitude E6510's hard drive recently crashed and after trouble shooting all options I was forced to reload the operating system windows 7. After it was reloaded I am not able to get any internet connections. The computer says that the drivers were not down loaded, any suggestions?

    Go to Dell's site and make sure you have ALL of the correct drivers for your system.

    It's a simple case of entering the tag number, on a sticker underneath, and it will list what is available.

    If your problem is lack of a suitable driver for your wireless network adapter, you might be able to connect an ethernet cable and get wired access to your local router. If that works, then you could probably download wireless drivers from Windows update.

    If an ethernet cable does not result in any Internet access, then you might want to have a friend download and burn a CD of a UBCD (Ultimate Boot CD), which will contain its own (non-volatile) operating system (which cannot be changed by adware, spyware, etc.). Then you could load drivers onto a USB (flash) drive, but, to avoid recognition problems, be sure the USB device is already inserted before you boot to the UBCD disk.
