need Laptop setup help

[niSm095]

Recently, my laptop crashed- I've reinstalled the OS (Vista Home Premium) but now I'm unable to figure out how to set up my wireless network again. When I go to the networks folder there's nothing there. I'm unsure what (if any) of the drivers I need to make the internet connection possible.

Any assistance would be appreciated

Open up device manager and check what network adapters are installed.

none, im not sure where to find the right drivers for the network adapter

If your laptop is a name brand, go to the manufacturer website and download their driver package... hopefully your wired network is working, otherwise download it on a desktop and transfer via flash drive.

Go buy/download Win7. Autoupdate. Should install every since driver you have, and drivers for shit you didn't know you had.
