ARrrr! move this out of the laptop area! im only on my laptop to tell you guys about the problem, it needs to be in in Drivers support!

you need to post the system details
there are many different m/boards out there
and a list of drivers you are looking for most will be on the m/b manufacturers site if available

Hi Luke,

If you can post the make and model of this computer it will help us.

What errors are remaining in the Device Manager?

Thanks,
Bill
