Did you reinstall the chipset drivers?

Ok - then I did do it right.  I have downloaded everything manually from the drivers resource cd.  So far everything else is working except for the ethernet (NIC driver).  I have video, I have sound, etc.  The device manager just shows the other devices as not installed (the yellow ? and the yellow !)  The USB and everything else is installed.  Now what?

I am assuming that the chipset is installed because when I installed the driver it said that it was completed.  I don't know - this is all new to me.  I've never had a computer crash and have to be completely reinstalled.  How do I install the chipset manually?  Any help you can give me is appreciated.  Unfortunately I can't test this right now.  Thanks.

No, the chipset would have to installed separately and would be listed so on your Drivers & Utilities CD.

How do you know the chipset is done?  You may have to manually add the NIC thru the Add/Remove Hardware Applet.

See, the chipset is not listed in the device manager so run it agin, I'll bet you missed it.

I'll try it again.  Thank you for your help.  Although I do have one question, I still have the phone lines connected to the DSL to the ethernet.  Will that make a difference?  Should I disconnect everything and then try it again?
