Re: what am i missing here?

If windows has just been re-installed or not I would install all of the special chipset drivers that need be installed get installed they are found either at the manufacturers web site for the computer or the manufacturers web site for the motherboard, once downloaded burn all of them to a cd-r and then install all of them no matter what.

Re: what am i missing here?

i deleted the yellow mark, then I installed the utility from the above link, it ran and said found new hardware, and promted me to restart the machine, after restart the found new hardware wizrard pop up, and on clicking next it searched for the driver but no driver found. I clicked finished, then it showed "your new hardware might not be working properly" ballon pop up in the right bottom corner.

Nothing happened, that yellow mark is still there... any other ideas??

You can use the specific device ID (coupled with the hardware's actual location to match what it says for the yellow-flagged device) to track down the right drivers.
