I have missed some of my system device

Hi Mark Johnson,

PCI network controller is very much needed to have Internet access. This hardware needs driver to make it work. The hard drive might have been installed but the software is not. First identify if the driver is installed.

Go to Start>Control Panel>Click to Classic View>System>Hardware Tab> Device Manager. Look for this hardware in the list of hardware installed.

Click on the Network Adapter and expand it by clicking on the plus sign in the left side.

This will show what network adapter is installed. The status would normally say enabled if it’s functioning but usually has yellow triangle and or red X mark if not.

Right Click on it, update driver. Insert the disk and follow the instructions. This process will update the driver of this PCI card and it will function as normal.

Hope this help.
