If your computer “slows down” at startup, and after startup an icon of two computers with an exclamation mark appears in the lower left corner, this means that you have not configured a network connection or the network card driver is not installed. The network card driver must be installed even if you are not going to use it. Otherwise, the computer will regularly freeze and there will be serious malfunctions in the work of programs.
Instructions
Step 1
Find the "my computer" icon, right-click on the icon, select "device manager" from the drop-down menu. A window will appear in which you will see the inscription "network cards".
Step 2
Right-click on the inscription "network cards". Select update driver. The Hardware Update Wizard will appear. Here it is suggested to automatically install the driver. Leave it as it is and don't click anything. Next, attention, insert a driver disk into the drive, which you must have (it usually comes with the purchase of a computer). Now click "next". Searching for drivers.
After the program has found the driver, you will be prompted to select the required driver. Select, click next. The driver will be installed. When finished, close the installation wizard.
Restart your computer and then set up your network connection.
Step 3
Arc option. If there is no driver disk, you need to go online from another computer and find the required driver.
Copy the downloaded network card driver installation file to your computer. Remember the location where you copied the driver. Follow the steps described in the first method. Only now, in the hardware update wizard, select "install from a list or specific location". Click next.
Step 4
Check the box next to "include this search location." And through the "browse" button, select the location where you saved the copied network card driver. Click next. The driver will be installed.
