Hi, I just got a new computer, and I totally lost my Gigabyte Z87-HD3 motherboard Driver CD, which comes with an internet driver. I tried downloading the Realtek internet driver on my other PC and putting it in this computer, but it didn't work. Any suggestions?

I'm assuming that you installed the driver, not just copied it? If you download the driver to your flash drive and copy it over to your other PC, you still have to open it up and run it to install it or it won't work. For windows 7, Click Start > type "Network and Sharing Center" and press enter > Click the "Connect or disconnect" button and a window will pop up on the right hand side > Double click on the network you want to connect to and you're done.

If it's password protected, enter the password. If you entered the wrong password (double check that you spelled it right) go back to the step where you double click the network and instead right click the network and click properties. On the "Security" tab there will be a box...

I'm guessing this is the motherboard you are using: http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4489&dl=1#dl

Did you download the realtek lan driver and then transfer it over to your PC? I would recommend downloading that to a flash drive and then installing it on your other PC and then restarting your PC (if necessary). If that doesn't work, make sure that you selected the right OS and 64 bit or 32 bit (a 64 bit driver won't work on a 32 bit computer).

I would recommend downloading all those drivers and installing them, see if that works.

I tried it, but it didn't work. I downloaded the realtek driver into my new PC with a usb, and I installed the driver, but I can't seem to discover wireless networks. Even with the driver correctly installed, it's not discovering any networks :(

If you entered the wrong password (double check that you spelled it right) go back to the step where you double click the network and instead right click the network and click properties. On the "Security" tab there will be a box called "Network security key" and you can click the "Show characters" box below it to view the password you have entered. So double check that you have that done correctly.
