I Reinstalled windows xp and i'm missing the ethernet controller

Very frustrated have spent hours upon hours tri\ying to fix this

already tried

  • dell drivers
  • installing dell drivers in safe mode
  • uninstalling/reinstalling
  • bios

I have a dell dimension 4550 with service code .

I have gotten the drivers to extract/install but the question mark is still there in device manager.

Also, I installed windows sp3 through usb and still am having same problems

ajhous44,

When you reinstalled the operating system, did you install the Dell System Software (if applicable) and the chipset drivers first? If not, the rest of the drivers will fail to install. How to Download and Install Drivers in the Correct Order

Start with the Dell System Software and the chipset drivers and follow the list
