When i restarted after installing it, It says New Hardware found and its the audio device on HD Audio Bus. And in the Sound settings in the control panel, it says no audio device.

try that one ( do you have atheros chipset for wifi? )
is the driver installed corectly? int he device manger does it have the little yellow ! ??
check device manger by:
start>(right click on) computer select properties>(on the left) select device manger
if the driver is installed correctly try this
in vista they turn of the service that monitors the network status from the start..
go to
start>(right click on) network select properties>at the top of that window it will have a little error telling that it i turned off. select more info and there is a button to turn it on…..
when you get to the network properties and you see a picture of a computer and a world with a line connecting them then it is already turned on and you are having problems with the driver…..
If you guys need more help go to driverhelp.tk and register go to forums look under ur pc or labtop model and tell me whats missing and leave email if u want the driver faster =DD

If your computer is getting somewhat sluggish, you might think yu have no choice but to upgrade to a new one. STOP! Read on. True, the latest software tends to be more resource intensive than ever, but this does not mean that a 3 year old computer is obsolete. One reason so many computers become sluggish is because of all of the spyware, adware, and malware, they accumulate. And that is in addition to the unnecessary programs that keep hogging your computer’s resources.
