Ethernet Card or Network Adapter Problems

lazybummm · 05-10-2008, 10:19 AM

I have a Dell 400sc which has a 875p chipset mobo with p4 3.2HT. It has a Intel Pro 10/100/1000 Gigabit network adapter onboard. It has worked fine in XP for many years. I just clean installed Vista Business a couple of days, all the drivers for the computer install successfully. Now, each time I restart I get the error code of 10 and that my device (network adapter) can't start. The only thing that will get it to work is: Uninstall hardware, unplug ethernet cable, restart computer. Once restarted the computer will automatically install the device drivers and when that's successfully installed, and it works fine. If I don't uninstall the device before I restart, it will still have the error after the restart. Any help or tips appreciated!

TIA!

btw, this is a double post to one in Vista Support
