Windows 7 always find the best drivers better than the other versions of windows. Make sure you have windows updates enabled and it will find all your drivers. This is an older machine originally designed for XP but Windows 7 will work make sure you have at least 1 gig of ram(memory). It has very common components like Intel Vga(video) and Realtek audio and Lan(network) and Windows update will find or already have the drivers. I have attached the link for you unit but emachines(gateway) does not even have Vista Drivers for it.

Your emachines is really made by gateway. But let try going to device manager and then down to network adapters and see what is listed and try selecting update driver. Let me know what it says. Here is a link to realtek drivers you would have to download on another machine and get it to your emachine on a cd or usb drive. And choose "Win7 and WinServer 2008 R2 Auto Installation"

Here is another link to try : choose Win7 32/64 Auto Installation Program this is for older machine and may be better because there are no specs available for your machine since it is so old. If it does not work it can always be uninstalled
