A friend came me her laptop, cause she says she was on the phone with tech support for 3 hours trying to fix a log in problem, and had growen frustrated with them. I got it and it booted up ok, logged in, and everything seemed ok, however now I can not get it to recognize when their is a ethernet cord in, and will not connect to the internet. I noticed too, it wont recognize when I put a flash drive in, I can access it, but it doesnt show anything is there. And, it will not let me install Spybot – search and destroy, It did Super Malwearbytes,but not Spybot.
Are these 3 things connected ?
Is it a BIOS thing ?
Is it a Driver thing ?
Oh, its a Gateway running windows 8
I thank you for any help anyone can provide
