      http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/NP300V5A-A0EUK-downloads

      Go to the above link and download and install all appropriate drivers. I suggest you start with the chipset driver (about halfway down the list). After installing the chipset driver, reboot and install the rest.

      Also, if you haven't done so already be sure to install a GOOD anti virus app and keep it updated and resident.

        Then download the drivers on the system you are currently using, move them to a usb drive or a cd or an external drive, then copy them to the system in question and install them.

            Good to hear. Thanks for posting back.

            One thing you want to do is look in device manager for any yellow or red symbols. If you see any, you still need to install a driver for that device. If not, you're good to go :)
