cannot access internet after reinstalling windows 7 on my laptop. after the installation was done, it says something about network adapters and when i go into device manager there are yellow triangles or exclamations next the network controller and ethernet and base system etc. i had this problem before and i remember manually selecting the driver from a list but i do not remember how i did it. also, i do not have a way to download a file to a memory stick or cd and put it on the computer. so please dont tell me to download a driver off another computer and then simply put it on the laptop.

You really don't have any option other than to download SOMEWHERE. You need to go the the laptop manufacturer's website and find the support for your model. Hopefully they will have all the device drivers available for download. You should have done this prior to installing windows 7. This is the equivalent of the driver disk that a new motherboard comes with.

Well if you dont have your drivers on a CD and you dont have a way to download them on another PC then try going into some computer service and ask them but it will probably cost you something...
