The problem is definitely a driver. Whenever you reinstall your OS, it completely formats your HDD, so the driver that was there before is now gone and you will have to reinstall it and probably several others, too. The only problem is that I hope you have another computer with internet access because unless you have a disk with all of the drivers, you will have to download it. I ran into the same problem with my Dell laptop. They sent me a disk that conatined every driver I needed except for the Ethernet Controller driver. I would have to download it, but couldn't. Guess why. That's right. No internet without an Ethernet Controller. DUHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Big red firetruck!!!
