shadowman77 · 08-13-2007, 05:34 AM

Hi all,

I have an IBM Thinkpad A31 that crashed on me. I had to re-install windows XP. When I did so, My Laptop will not recognize a few things. One of these things is the Network Controller Drivers. It just has a yellow question mark next to it in the devise manager. I think I cant connect to the internet do to this as I have a built in Wireless 802.11b card inside. How do I fix this?????????????? Any help would be wonderful!!!!!
