Device cannot start

Hi im using a HP Pavilion a409.UK , i have 2 of these systems both same specs
(literally) And am trying to set up a router, but on this pc it says no
network cards are installed (Both of them have them) a realtek RTL 8139/810x
Family fast ethernet. But it doesnt detect them on here, ive tried recovery
options, removing/replacing the Card, downloading drivers, checking the add
hardware wizard thingy. And nothing comes up so i tried to manually install
it (selecting the hardware from the list) and when its installed it has a
yellow question mark nxt to it in Device manager and says "This device cannot
start (Code 10)" Onboard LAN has been enabled/disabled on the BIOS and that
makes absolutely no difference....... if anyone can help i'd really
appreciate it. thankyou

modem.my pc is celeron,and VIA 266A chipset.

Are the Realtek onboard Ethernet ports ENABLED in the BIOS?
