I got my new computer with Win 8 and the Mcafee and another program keep popping up. I went on the control panel and deleted a few of the programs. Now it won't connect to the internet anymore because there is no wireless connection. I might have deleted that accidentally.

How do I recover the computer as it does not come with a system disk. It must be inside the computer, can you tell me how to recover the system?

Thanks

Hey yungman.

Does your computer have built on wireless or not?

If it does then check that the driver is installed. If it is check that you haven't pushed a button that disables wireless at the hardware end.

Win 8 has built in software for wireless so that is all you should need to do.
 
Thanks, I since recover the system. I have nothing in it so far, so it's is just easy to recover that whole system. I did it already.

Thanks
