I had to reformat and reload my system on my Dimension 8250 and everything is good except for my Ethernet Internet connection.  The device manager doesn't show the Network Card at all but there are two unkown devices - a Ethernet Controller and a PCI Input device. When I look at the Properties for each device I get the following message:

The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)

To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver.

However, when I attempt to find the driver for these devices I get an error message that the wizard could not install the necessary software.  I attempted to manually load the drivers from the Dell site, but nothing seems to change.  Still no access to the card.    I downladed and ran Dell Support Center tool and upon performing the PC Check it again finds the device but shows that it is diabled because there isn't a driver associated with it.  That scan is included below.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this issue?  The card was working right up to the time my system software got all messed up.

Thanks,
