Hi everyone. I just bought myself a new barebones computer and it doesn't have the driver for the ETHERNET CONNECTION or the USB WIFI ADAPTER I purchased for it.

The problem here is that I ran the installer for the WIFI adapter (right off of the CD that it came with) and restart the computer as instructed, but after restarting the WIFI adapter still shows that it has no driver in the device manager.

I took like 4-5 screenshots of what I am seeing on my computer to try and make this easier to solve. Please view the link below to see those screenshots.

I don't understand why the installer for the driver wouldn't naturally connect the driver with the device that it was meant for?

I am on my laptop right now, but can't connect to the internet with my new desktop because there is no Ethernet driver and my WIFI driver apparently isn't correlating with the device it was meant for.

Please help someone .....
