Installed Windows 7, No internet drivers

NathanielLivingston · May 23, 2014

Hello,

I recently bought the MSI Apache 003 which has windows 8.1 on it. I didn't like windows 8.1 so I decided to downgrade to windows 7. I installed it and everything worked fine, until it finished setup. There are no drivers on it and I'm not sure which ones to get. I've looked for awhile now and can't find them. Im using wireless connection.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Nate

NVIDIA Geforce GTX860M,
and the chipset are all that I could find, Mobile Intel® HM87

And I now hate msi. Sorry friend, that is all kinds of wrong. They should have drivers available... Keep hunting, and pair whatever you can find from the specs on their website...

Does this mean there isn't a internet driver?

SystemDump · May 23, 2014

wait one, let me check.

NathanielLivingston · May 23, 2014

I installed it and that went well. I'm still not getting internet. So I went into network settings and it has the test network speed option, but it says i need flash. how do i get flash on there without internet?

NathanielLivingston · May 23, 2014

Do I need an ethernet cable for this?

SystemDump · May 23, 2014

download and transfer an offline install from whatever internet ready device you're using now. But flash to get network? That sounds odd...

SystemDump · May 23, 2014

I found... something. I cannot stand behind this, so DL at your own risk...

ethernet should usually work pretty much right off, as it's pretty much plug and play, but I am sadly leaving my element with that whole flash thing, so...

NathanielLivingston · May 23, 2014

Do I need a Network controller driver to get internet aswell?

NathanielLivingston · May 23, 2014

I'm sorry for all the questions, it's so complicated for me.

NathanielLivingston · May 23, 2014

Plugged in the ethernet cable, but nothing happend

I guess it wasn't the right driver or something

back to the windows 8.1

SystemDump · May 23, 2014

no, no worries, I have dealt with plenty of stuff in this same sense, fix one thing, another dies or takes 4 hours to understand... S'why I'm here.

From what I could tell, the qualcomm I sent you to IS your network device manufacturer, and the Killer *** was the unit itself.

Tell you what, what is your exact computer type? is it that apache pro 003, or not? You can find this by googling the serial number. Once we have that, we will be closer to a solution.

Also, I can't stay on forever, I have work tomorrow and it's close to midnight here... but I'll do what I can.

It's the MSI Apache GE60 Pro-003 Model # ms-16gf

I really appreciate it man.

NathanielLivingston · May 23, 2014

The killer did fix the ethernet controller drive, but i still have the network controller if that makes any difference.

That^ should (crossing fingers) be for your wireless, just hit wireless networking for option 1, intel wifi products for option 2, and Intel® Wireless-AC 3160 for option 3.

Ha! I hope... Your killer *** was actually the LAN netowrk, still don't know why it won't work, but meh.

SystemDump · May 23, 2014

also, went to msi homepage, and looked up specs to find this info. the killer LAN thing was my mistake, it said LAN right next to it, but yeah.

O please work, o please work, etc...

Wireless_17.0.2_Ds64.exe
or
Wireless_17.0.2_s64.exe

to download?

NathanielLivingston · May 23, 2014

OK I downloaded the ds one and installed it. It fixed the network controller. But my computer will just no recognize my internet. Should I restart my router or something?

SystemDump · May 23, 2014

the first one (..._Ds64) is driver only, the second one (..._s64) is driver and software bundle for it.
your choice.

SystemDump · May 23, 2014

Just shout out if it works. If not, I may have to retire...
