Network Adaptor Problem! {{Please Help}}
Hey. I'm having some problems.
Okay, after I reformatted my computer for the 3rd time I am still having problems.
Here is a list...
First of all, in setup it didnt ask me for a Product Key, so I am guessing it was already registered.
After that, The Welcome To Mircosoft Windows didnt show up after the change of display settings box popped up. I guess that isnt really anything to worry about since my desktop is up.
I have used the ResourceCD and downloaded everything I needed on it.
My major problem would be installing and networking.
It cant find my network adaptor...
I get errors like -
Cannot load HostAppDLL. Err Msg: Cannot load shared library Work Flow/Bin/SimpleHostAPP DDR(or D), Dll. Error Code=999.
I have no idea what the heck that is...
I basically just need someone to work on my computer in person.... but that wont be happening.... So I need to figure out what to do...
Did I miss something??? Seriously, shouldnt a Re-installed copy of Windows work properly after installing it? I have followed ALL directions...
I tried Windows Update also, of course you cant use it without an internet connection...
So, if I cant install anything, thats a major issue....
I hope one of you can assist me! Thank you!

P.S.
I believe I did install the Chipset Driver. It was on the ResouceCD... I have a Tools System Software CD, V.9 56K/Data/Fax Modem Software. Other things include Sonic RecordNow CyberLink PowerDVD, Dell E152FP Color Monitor User Documentation.
Thats all I have.... Am I missing a CD?

You did not state what pc model you were using, but I had a similar problem when I had to wipe my hard drive and start over. If you have the Dell server tag number for your system, and access to the internet, you can download the correct ethernet driver in file form, copy it onto a cd and load it to your computer. Each manufactor of most programs requiring drivers will have a website where a required driver can be downloaded at no cost.Hope this helps.

Open Device Manager. Are there any devices listed there as "Problem Devices"? If so, which ones? Do you have any USB devices (besides a mouse and/or keyboard) plugged into USB ports? If so, unplug those devices until after you have installed the drivers.
