I have a windows 2000 machine that is not playing nicely
with others. looked like the NIC card was disabled and I
enabled it and the machine went to install the drivers.
finds the card installs the drivers but it says drivers
install but the card may not function please reboot. I
reboot and it goes through the same process finds the card
pulls the drivers and then says drivers installed but the
card may no function properly which it does not. I have a
yellow exclamation mark next to the card.
So..... I swapped the hard drive out to 2 other identical
machines and have gotten the same thing... so hardware-
wise its ok.it is something with the operating system. I
ran sfc /scannow with no luck. I Have used different and
updated drivers for the card and still same thing.
I tried to use a USB thumb-drive with the updated drivers
on it, it finds the drive and goes to install them which
should be automatic on all other machines. but the machine
prompts for driver location and fails to install properly
also. Even with a USB mouse... it says it found a human
interface device and goes into found new hardware routine
never finding the drivers, or if you lead it to the
drivers they don't install properly.
Has anyone seen this before and know a fix? All help
greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
