OK guys so I reloaded windows xp pro and now the computer is working. I'm not able to get on the internet and in my device manager the following drivers are not installed;

Ethernet Controller
Multimedia Audio Controller
Video COntroller
Video Controller (VGA Compatible)

So I'm assuming it's the Ethernet Controller I need as of now. The machine is a refurbished Dell Optiplex GX 520 Service Tag is JHJ0X81 and I was able to find drivers on Dell's website. I d/l All the urget ones. Do I now d/l the recommended drivers? I have to d/l to this computer then save to a usb drive then transfer.

Thanks again for all the help....
 
Well I loaded everything and all the yellow bang marks are gone, but still cannot connect to the internet. Say's cannot find a connection. I have a new cat 6 cable connected directly from my modem to the back of the computer. I suppose there is something else that I need to do? I'm trying to connect using ie. Well did a hard reboot and still a question mark under the ethernet controller, when I reboot it say welcome to found new hardware wizard and I'm not able to load the right driver???

John I got it, thank you. What happened is I d/l all the driver and loaded them one at a time. Basicly I think I tried loading the network driver before the video driver and for some reason it didn't like that. So I reloaded all the drivers again and loaded the network driver last and it finally worked. That and a few hard reboots and etc. etc. I finally got it. Basicly took me the weekend to get this thing back on it's feet. We'll at least the customer will be happy, I can drop it off and do the necessary calibrations on his machine Monday. I'm d/l all the updates now and will then d/l a anti spyware and malware program for him. Thanks again for all your help as always.....:good:
