If the telephone company does not setup your house line properly, your phone will not ring. You are going to need to track down the drivers on your system. This means tracking down makes and models of your internal hardware and chipset, and going to the internet to find them. I cannot easily point you directions at this point without the hardware here in front of me.
If you are not comfortable trying this on your own, it might be a better investment to take the computer into a shop to have it done by a tech.
I was trying to have you look at the BIOS information and see if the devices are detected. Because you have yellow! Had the devices not been present, then I would be stearing you in another direction.

It won't read that. Any files I want to put on, such as the network card driver, I have to burn to a blank CD and not put a name on it. Somewhat annoying considering how much software I have to load.
The Windows 98 install CD worked fine when I booted it from a floppy disk, however, which is strange older computer, doesn't support boot-from-CD. So it did read CD's with names at install time, but after that, nada. Any ideas? DaveSimmons Elite Member. Aug 12, 40, You probably used one of the newer formats e.
