ok i just re-installed my windows, i think.... but i realized i didnt save any of my drivers for my wireless card and i cant find the CD. it saved mostly all my stuff in a folder called Windows.old it seems to have all my files. i was wondering if i could some how get my drivers loaded back on to my new system so i can get back onto the internet.
is there a way i can reverse this re-install and go back? or is there a way i can get the drivers from that old system folder?

First, why did you reinstall Windows in the first place ? Second, you're better off trying to obtain the latest drivers from wireless card's manufacturer's website. Can you connect to the Internet with another computer ?
