Windows 7 not detecting hardware?

Ewa Homrich: chance are you may have to download all of the necessary drivers, I had an issue where i needed to configure windows xp on a PC that came with 7 and I had to manually install all of the drivers, check out your hardware specs, the manufacturers usually keep their drivers on their sites, also try Google.P.s. as far as the internet goes, unless you have a driver disk, you may have to get access to another computer.
