well this is how it started, originally i was on windows xp pro but when i heard of vista i decided, hey lets try that out.... after a month or two i decided that i missed xp since it was more user friendly and my computer seemed to run faster on it, thinking this i decided to reinstall windows xp, this is where i went wrong....

everything worked fine until i tried to connect to the internet.. i was puzzled why it wasnt working so i decided to check on device manager i scroll down and notice other devices has a yellow question mark beside it so i expand it and i find, ethernet controller and various other items with a yellow questionmark. i cannot get onto the internet , atm im using a different computer.


i have a compaq presario sr1629uk
and with aida i managed to find under pci, pnp network an item named via vt6105m/lom rhine ||| 10/100 mbps fast ethernet controller

anyone have any ideas what i should do?
