It almost sounds like it could be a hardware problem, but I'm probably missing something. More information is needed.
    My computer is 6 years old. It's a no name computer, the network controller is integrated into the motherboard chipset and I don't use a wireless adapter

    Oh, forgot to tell ya!
    It has to do with the fact that this failure coincided with the uninstall of the Avast antivirus?

    Once again, just boot to the Windows install where networking actually works, use this to extract the corresponding driver (both for the sake of using the one known to work and in case it's some obscure chipset), then do the same with the install where graphics work, copy both somewhere safe, wipe and reinstall. That should fix everything.

    Yep, what anon said. And this time, I suggest you completely reformat the partition you install to & get rid of all the crap on it before you reinstall the OS to it.

    Oh, & come to think of it, I had some network trouble related to an earlier version of Avast Internet security, around 6 months ago. I don't remember how or what I did to fix it though...I think an update took care of it.

    You can't format the partition you're booting from. You would have to use a 3rd party program like Paragon or similar. If you are re-installing Windows, during install it should ask you if you want to format the partition you are installing to.

    Also, you're partitions are almost full....Looks like you need to get rid of some things. I would think your machine would be slow as a snail with the disks being that full.

    This. Just boot off the disc, format the first partition when you reach that step, and install there.

    I remember the Windows 9x days when you needed to run fdisk and partition the drive without a fancy interface before setup would even run! People today have it easy.

    I tried again, but every time a new OS is installed in Local Disk (C: ). Now I have 5 OS installed. I'm thinking to buy a new computer.

    Yeah, that's because you didn't format the partition before installing.

    I'm beginning to think this is a troll thread.
