Home › Forums › Operating Systems › Windows 7 › Windows 7 Drivers?!?
Ok, so after successfully installing windows 7 on my netbook, I am now confused.
I have several problems.
For example, I can’t use the blue function keys. When I press Fn, and then another key, the function won’t work, such as lowering the brightness or the volume.
I also couldn’t scroll using the touchpad, but i found an x86 driver and installed it.
My netbook also can’t recognize my LAN connection.
Is the LAN and the Fn key malfunction caused by dirvers?
Has anyone found the drivers to these problems (I need the LAN in particular….)
Thanks
You’ll need to install the Easy Display Manager to get the main Fn keys working again.
Some of the keys require Magic Keyboard.
The LAN driver you need is available here (it’s for Vista, but will work with Win 7):

Check the WIndows 7 thread for anwers to all these issues:
eg – the Lan driver is built in to Win 7
Easy Display Driver fixes the Fn keys
You will need the Realtek driver for reliable sound
Details for all on these are in the Windows 7 thread
swabes got it right. See my blog post to get direct links to the drivers:
