Reinstalled os and now pc runs slow, network card does not work?

I had a virus on my pc and to get it off the computer was reformatted. Since then the pc runs slow. Tried a few things but to no avail. Attempted to use back up discs but they were damaged and had to use a recovery disk to get windows working again. Now network and wireless functions don't work. Need help now!

    Sounds like you need the drivers reinstalled, What is the model of your computer and the operating system you are running?

The 4 top anti-virus on planet,
G-Data
Avira
Kaspersky
Norton 2009

If you where running AVG, get rid of it as it is garbage, it is 21 out of top 20 virus software. You can download a free repair tool from Avira
also that is run is dos(before windows starts) and you would not have to reinstall the OS.

As for your drivers, just go to the mfg site and you can get all the drivers you need for the hardware on your system.

Presario CQ42-305 will not connect to wifi after reformat.

To connect your computer to a wireless router, you click the Refresh network list, then Choose your wireless network and then click Connect to your secured Wireless Network, it will asks for a Network Key before allowing you to connect into your wireless network. This Network Key is either the WEP, or WPA or WPA2 Encryption key that is configured in the Wireless settings in the Router. The Passphrase is an alternate way to setup the Encryption key.
When you are requested for a Network Key, you can just enter the Passphrase or WPA or WPA2 key that was used to configure the Encryption key in the wireless router. http://www.fixya.com/support/r5270415-network_password_network_address For information on securing your wireless network, configuring the wireless router and configuring the wireless card in the laptop/computer, please click on this link and follow my instructions :- http://www.fixya.com/support/r3559128-wireless_router_security

Cannot connect to internet.

Since better than half of my customers use a Cable modem and I sell Netgear routers, this ought to be a piece of cake :-)

It sounds like one of your computers is working fine, and the one you reformatted doesn't. Is it Vista and did you get the drivers for the network card? Whovever reinstalled the OS should have done the drivers, but if they didin't, you'll probably have to go to the computer maker's web site and get them for your particular machine.

It's fairly easy to tell, because if you plug a cable into the network card and it either doesn't light up or is not detected, you don't have drivers or you have other issues. If you somehow do, then you can click on the Control Panel and Network and see the LAN card. It will either be enabled, disabled, or not there.

Once you get it to where you can see the network, now you can go about configuring the connection. I'm betting on missing drivers, but if you have any more questions, feel free to comment back.

Slow running games

Hi clean your hard disk thoroughly by formatting it more than once and reinstall the OS and drivers afresh . The Processor nor the Ram or any of the components in computers only get burnt out , they never get degraded slowly so if game was running well before it was because of clean install without the presence of virus or malware.
