I recently formatted my hard drive that was running WIN 7 Home and I installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit on an old Asus X45H Laptop I received for free. Everything is fine but I can't connect to the internet, it won't even detect any networks and while troubleshooting it said I needed a Network Adapter Driver(I also found out that I was missing a few others, too). So I downloaded the drivers onto my USB and when I tried to install them of my USB it said I had no Network adapters?

So I checked my un-solved drivers with msinfo32 and it said it had un-installed drivers such as Network, etc. (I even know I have a network adapter, I opened up my laptop not long ago to re-apply thermal compound and made sure my adapter was connected)

Please help me.
 
Solution
First guess is that you downloaded the wrong drivers. The ASUS website does not list any 32 bit drivers for that model. Install Windows 7 64 bit, then get the drviers.
