I cannot find anyt networks ive tried many different drivers for my realtek RTL8187B wireless card, but no matter what i cannot see the wireless card in device manager. and still no available connections. if anyone has any ideas please share them,

Who made your wireless card? Sometimes, the manufacturer of a card, even though it's based off of someone else's chipset, makes certain modifications to the hardware that make only that mfr's drivers work properly.That said, have you tried the reference drivers from Reaktek?-Chris [If this post helps to resolve your issue, please click the "Mark as Answer" or "Helpful" button at the top of this message.

Are you not seeing the wireless card at all, or do you have an unknown device listed in your device manager? In either case, no drivers will equal no connections. Thus, there is no use in looking for available connections if you dont have the proper drivers installed. Follow Chris recommendation.
