A few days ago, I installed the new version of Windows 7 that was just released. Ever since then the NIC drivers on my Dell Desktop stopping working everytime I reboot and I have to reinstall them. I figured that Windows 7 was the cause of this so I re-installed my old OS (Vista Ultimate). However I am noticing that the NIC drivers are STILL failing. Can anyone help me out with this?

What I mean is after I install the OS. My NIC card suddenly loses connectivity and I have to reinstall the drivers. I know my internet connection is good becasue I have a laptop that I connect with just fine. And there no no errors I just lose connectivity and dont get it back until I reinstall the drivers.
Q: When you mention NIC, do you mean the cabled or the wireless NIC?
Here are a few things to consider:
Wired:
Why does my network connection drop every so often?
Wireless:
Zyxel 660HW-61 NIC connection drops out
