Look in the device manager and see if your network devices are listed or have yellow triangles by them. Since you are typing this I am assuming you have a laptop to use to access the internet. Below are the drivers for your system or at least the links to the drivers. Download them onto a flash or thumb drive. Go to the device manager on your laptop and uninstall all the network adapters listed there. You can keep the drivers if it says that they are there. Reboot the laptop with the thumb drive in a usb slot. Windows will recognize the adapters and want to search for the drivers for them, let windows search first, if it doesn't see the drivers then go into "My computer" find the thumb drive, open it and manually install the adapter software drivers on the thumb drive. If you are not sure which wireless device you have, don't worry...while you are installing the software will tekk you whether it finds the device or not. There are several wireless adapters available for that laptop, so just download all the software and run it all. I would run the wired driver first, that way you can at least get connected via an ethernet cable then run windows update and get the rest of the drivers by hittong custom on the update window and looking through all the optional updates...those include all the updates for your hardware. Links are below.....You didn't specify what operating system you had, so just pick your operating system when the link comes up, it will be a drop down list on the page, then pick your driver downloads and that's it.

Cant find my web cam hardware on NE56R

Click start control panel view devices and printers you should see your webcam from there if you are have trouble with your webcam Click start control panel administrative tools computer management device manager scroll down image devices you could see a yellow question mark? right click to reinstall drivers or update driver xp Click start right click on computer select properties device manager scroll to image devices expand right click to update driver in W7 http://download.cnet.com/2000-20_4.html on the home page you should see a search tab just type in what you are looking for IE: webcam name webcam driver you might have to try a few times to get it right software if you dont have the driver you will need to download one here rather doing a driver hunt which can take hours http://download.cnet.com/slimdrivers-free/3000-18513_4-75279940.html Windows XP/Vista/7/8 It might take some time being a freeware driver solution note: it will find all of your outdated drivers this is a free driver solutions This will automatically search for and find the correct driver you will have to update every driver individually once you update you might be asked whether you want to restart or make a system restore point click no to both of these then continue updating each driver free then restart once all of the drivers have been updated Some webcams and programs require additional software, although that should be installed with the webcam if things are right. But is does not harm to check if your Java, Flash and Quicktime software are installed and up to date. But certainly check your DirectX software, since all video applications, including webcams, use DirectX for video processing. Try downloading the latest DirectX version and install it (Windows XP: DirectX 9.0c - Windows Vista: DirectX 10). http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Which-version-of-DirectX-is-on-your-computer If you still have no webcam installed Run the "Add a device"application, accessed by clicking on the "Start" button, opening the "Control Panel," and then double-clicking on "Add a device." The "Add a device" window will open and Windows will search for devices connected to your system but not installed. Click on the webcam name that shows in the search box and then click "Next." Choose whether you want Windows to search for the webcam device driver using Windows Update over the Internet, or if you'd prefer to have the device manager search for the driver using a disc supplied by your laptop manufacturer. Most drivers can be found on the system recovery disc included with your laptop, if you choose to add the driver from the provided disc. Place a check in the box next to your choice and then click "Next>" to continue. Wait while Windows searches from the driver using Windows Update, if this was your choice. An active Internet connection is required for Windows to successfully do this. Allow the computer to install the driver and then reboot the system for the webcam to become recognized by the system. Otherwise, you can use the system recovery disc or a driver downloaded directly from your laptop manufacturer to install the driver without using the Windows Update search feature. Open the CD/DVD-ROM drive and insert the system recovery disc, or place the driver downloaded from the manufacturer in an easily accessed file directory on your PC, such as on the desktop, or in your "My Documents" folder. Choose the option "Install the software automatically (Recommended)" in the "Add a device" application, and press "Next>" to begin searching for your webcam driver. The hardware wizard will search the system recovery disc and install the driver automatically. Press "Finish" to close the wizard and then reboot the computer to allow recognition of the webcam. Choose the option "Install the software manually" in order to browse to the driver location where you saved the driver and install it from there. Use the opened file manager and locate the driver. Click the "Next>" button to install the driver, then reboot the computer to add webcam functionality.

I cant install my pci drivers ??

Try deleting them first before installing over them. Go to Windows updates and seek them their after they are removed from the device manager. Or it may be a bad or faulty driver disc as well. Go to Acer home page and download them from there. Be sure to get the updated ones since I do not know what Operating System you have most likely Windows 7 or Vista after you delete them when you reboot be sure to be online when this happens. So Windows updates can pick them up again.
Personally I would just redo the whole computer with the restore disc that came with your machine do the updates and be done with it.............just a suggestion that is just what I would do. John

Acer Aspire 5630

Seems like your VISTA upgrade didn't sucessfully upgrade itself from XP to VISTA. Seems like M$ update program detects your OS as XP and tries to install the SP3 for XP. VISTA only has SP1 released. Its currently stuck in a loop that it doesn't know what to do. Restart your laptop into safe mode by pressing F8 before the VISTA loading page comes up and go to Safe mode and backup your data and use the ACER RESTORE CD OR ACER RESTORE METHOD to help you reload your system back to factory defaults then upgrade back to vista without install any updates or connecting it to the internet.

This is my best solution to get you out of this weird and unusual situation.
