I formatted my HD so I could start fresh, it was that time in my HD's life. So I installed windows, a CD that has no Service packs. Downloaded SP1a on my other comp and put it on a pen drive and installed it on my PC. But I have no networking, In Network connections, nothing is there and when I got to Device manager, everything under Network Adapters has a Yellow Exclamation mark on it and everything in Other devices has a question mark on it. When I click on 1394 Net Adapter, in the Device Status it says this:

Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory. (Code 38)

And the troubleshooter is useless but I already knew that. Please help!
 
do you have the cd that came with your motherboard that has the chipet drivers on it? install em :D
 
I just realized that lol. I bought OEM but downloading from DFI now lol. I completely forgot to install them.
 
Oops, sorry my bad.


Anyways, all is good, I am typing this from my PC right now.
 
Always the small things we forget to do. Glad you got it worked out.

 
You know you are quite right and I still can't believe I forgot to install it lol. I was thinking "what the fuck is wrong with my computer now, ahhhhhhhh"


Just so you guys know, I re-installed windows 3 times lol thinking something went wrong lol.
