Ok. So I formatted the whole computer and put a trail version of Windows Pro
64-bit. I have set up a connection for my cable modem and but it is not
connecting to the internet, just saying that it has been connected, and when
clicked on it shows no ip address or gateway address etc.. here are some
pictures I've taken to help since I am not very good at explaining it yet.

It isnt showing anything except the 1394 connection  in the network adapters
part either. Also I cannot get the sound to work:(   It shows in the driver
pictures    where they have a yellow exclaimation point next to the corrupted
parts, and also in the other picuture that it will not work because the
driver isnt actually avalible or it is not working correctly, thing is that I
cannot connect to the internet on that computer to go online and let it
somehow search maybe for updates?

I'm just confused and out of my leauge right now, tks if you can help me :)

If the only network device showing up is the 1394 adapter then you are
missing drivers for your network adapter - and without them, the cable modem
is connecting to nothing and that would explain why it doesn't work.  Check
with your PC manufacture or motherboard manufacturer for 64-bit drivers and
if they have none then go back to 32-bit Windows.
