Are you saying you deleted the network connection or disabled it?
Go to your device manager
Go to network adapters and what do you show?

Yes I deleted it by mistake my baby was on my lap and was clicking and deleted, not in recycling bin, gone, can't get it back. Only my wifi & Bluetooth connection showing.
I thought it to be restored with mother board software and drivers reinstalled but nope..

If I change my SSD hard drive I have it there but I hate Windows 11

I don't wanna use my other computer

When you right click on network adapters in the device manager and select scan for hardware changes nothing additional comes up? Can you post a screenshot?

In any case it may be easier to just go out an get a network adapter for under $20 bucks. They are really cheap and pop it in a empty slot. I assume you have at least one empty PCI slot in that win 7 machine.

If your machine has an empty PCIe slot then you can use this one

https://www.newegg.com/p/14U-00BA-00017?Item=9SIA3XWCK32024&cm_sp=SP-_-1854457-_-Pers_ProductAlsoView+-_-4-_-9SIA3XWCK32024-_-9SIAG6KKCP6219-_--_-1

Or if you want to get real simple you could go the USB route

https://www.newegg.com/p/36F-00UE-00003?Item=9SIAP7NFST6151

I would go with the PCIe option if you have that slot available in your computer.

Hey Folks,

Which manufacturer software did you use?

Which motherboard do you have?

Instead of a new PCIe network controller, I would first clarify such questions.

Because you advise buying a new one, you can also directly advise changing the operating system. Windows 7 should no longer be used at all.

Send me your motherboard. Model number, brand etc.

@lync. He specifically stated that he does not want to use Win10/11. I actually use a WinXP machine to play AA. That is all I use it for. There is nothing wrong with him using Win7 for AA so as long as that is all he is using it for.

My statement wasn't meant that way at all. What I meant was that buying a new network adapter is probably not the final solution here, unless it has been physically uninstalled (lmao). Because then you just give up on the problem. With such an attitude you can simply install win10. And then you shouldn't use old operating systems if you don't have a plan for it ^^

No offense intended, but Windows 10 now solves such problems automatically, so maybe it's the wrong operating system?

!The_Engineer! · « **Reply #7 on:** Tuesday, October 01, 2024, 07:45:30 AM »

No offense taken.

I don't think his Win7 machine would even be able to run Win11. He has this Win7 machine because he wants to use it for AA. He already has a Win10 machine.

We all could go back and forth trying to understand why the network adapter is missing and how to fix it but like I said it is probably easier to just get one and he will be back playing his favorite game on a non WiFi connection in a jiff the way he always has.

I would assume $20 is in his budget especially for a game he loves.

Sometimes the cheapest way is not always the best way.

I understand. Well, I wanted to at least know his mainboard beforehand so that I could maybe just send him the right eth driver, maybe there were problems, even if I know that the software was installed xd and if that doesn't work, of course, then screw it. Remote diagnosis is also difficult and with (as you said) his AA computer it's certainly not worth it.

!The_Engineer! · « **Reply #9 on:** Tuesday, October 01, 2024, 08:03:18 AM »

I was going to ask him for all his MB info as you stated but I decided that it just wasn't worth the effort when they are so cheap. If my AA XP machine controller failed or some strange reason disappeared and I could not get it back I certainly would not reimage the computer it in hopes that it comes back I would have just run down to Microcenter (less than 5 minutes from me) and got a new card. Time is money and $20 bucks isn't worth the time to figure it out.

And if you goto Microcenter you can bring it back, no questions asked if it doesn't work.

And by the way as a service tech I run into this with people all the time. They want to spend hours / days + travel time on an issue to diag equipment and in the end they could have just replaced the part that I told them and problem solved. So now they are out all the time invested and they still had to spend the money.

You said you did not have the network controller in your device manager but it is there but you uninstalled the driver most likely.

Please try reinstalling the driver

Not that it matters much but curious which driver did you use, the link or the one you already had?
