Have you installed the Drivers?

How did you 'reload' Windows?

This way?

Your Advent computer uses the latest recovery system that doesn't require any CDs or DVDs to restore your PC to it's original factory condition.
There are two ways to start the recovery -
Restart your computer. Then Press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting System Recovery" is displayed.
In Windows by clicking: Start / All Programs / System Recovery / System Recovery.
The recovery will load and display a box with one option:
Non-destructive recovery: this option will restore Windows, supplied applications, and drivers. This option will not destroy your documents or programs. These will be backed up along with the registry. These are restored at the end of the recovery process.
To access the recovery options below that erase all data from the computer, click the Advanced button.
System Recovery - No format: this will reinstall Windows, supplied applications and drivers. It will move your files to a folder called "My old disk structure". Any applications (except those supplied) will need to be reinstalled.
System Recovery - Quick format: this option will erase your hard drive including your personal files. Windows, supplied applications and drivers will be reinstalled.
Select the Non-destructive recovery option and press Next.
You will be informed about System Restore in Windows, click Yes.
The recovery will begin. Once this is complete click Restart.

Hmmm...why did you do that?

See if you can run the process as I have indicated. Otherwise you will have to install the Drivers manually.

If you have somehow deleted the recovery partition, you can make a new Drivers disc for the PC. Will instruct you if you have removed the partition.

You'll need to download the compressed Driver file and then un-zip them. Then you can burn the resulting folders or files to disc or transfer them to a USB drive for installation on the Advent.

Are you running Genuine Windows XP on the machine?

Go in to the Device Manager. Are there any yellow question marks there?
