Network Controller & pci simple communication controller driver missing

[AnaFa]

Hello. I need help.

My laptop HP G42 230 BR simply stopped to access the internet and I notice in the device manager that the Network Controller & pci simple communication controller drivers are missing. I tried installing some drivers I found online but with no success. I formated and reinstalled windows 7 and still the same.

Please, how can I fix this issue? Any help would be really appreciated!

Thak you.

Hi:

You need this driver for the pci simple communication controller:

This package provides the Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI) Driver for the supported notebook models and operating systems. The Intel Management Engine Interface enables communication between the host operating system and the Intel Management Engine firmware.

File name: sp52353.exe

You need this driver for the network controller, according to the parts list for your PC.

This package contains the driver installation package for the Realtek RTL8191SE wireless LAN Controller in the supported notebook models and operating systems.

File name: sp47860.exe
