Network card wont start

springchicken

Hello all,
Was wondering if any of you tecnical-minded people could help?!
We have just installed Xp and then installed a NIC but then the NIC "cannot start".
We know the NIC card works and it was ok on millenium edition.
How can I make this device start?
Any help much appreciated.

Right click on My Computer, Properties. Click on the Hardware Tab then Device Manager. Highlight the Network Adaptors and expand to show all. Right click on the Ethernet one and select properties. There is a Troubleshoot button, you may need to update the device driver.

Thanks Espresso.

It installs ok (drivers) but it "cannot start". Doesnt appear to be a driver problem.
Went through all of troubleshooter to no avail. Have tried reinstalling again (after full format of Hard disk). Have tried all options we can think of.
Have now gone back to square one (millenium edition - no upgrade).
Any more ideas appreciated
