I just did a clean install of 7 and all is well, except now I can't connect to the internet from Windows 7. I'm getting an error code 10 "This device cannot start" from Device manager for my Nvidia Networking Adapter, even though it works fine and shows no error in XP. It shows the proper driver as being installed, but won't connect. Any suggestions?

it would depend on what network card the board has as im not familiar with dfi's boards, but you could download the latest vista network driver for it and do a manual update of the driver

I downloaded the Nvidia 15.01 drivers, did a manual install, and the drivers show up now under device manager, but now it's giving me the error code 31, saying that Windows can't install the driver for this device. If the driver is showing up, how is it that it's not installed? FRUSTRATING!

There are still many driver issues with the Windows 7 betas.

I can't get it going on my laptop; I have like 7 devices that go unrecognized, and it goes all squirrely if I use the XP or the Vista driver.

You could try running drivermax if you really want to get Windows 7 to work. It's a PITA but it could work out for you.

What build of Windows 7 are you using? 7068 is the latest AFAIK.
