From: NOTASOUND on 22 Jun 2010 18:31 Hi im new to this forum and really need help. Yesterday I decided to set up my computer again (It had been in the garage because I wasn't using it for a while). Anyways, when I first started it up it worked fine and the internet connection worked as well. Later on it began to shut off unexpectedly if i tried to remove a program through task manager that wasn't working, so since it didn't have any important data, I decided to reformat my hardrive and reinstall microsoft xp. When I started up my cpu again, I noticed that there were no connections, even though I had not unplugged the ethernet cable. My network adapter is Microsoft Tun Miniport Adapter #2 and it has a yellow circle with an exclamation mark in the middle. I can't connect to the internet but my other computer can and it uses the same router. What do I do?! -- NOTASOUND ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NOTASOUND's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/235745.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-xp-support/1348158.htm http://forums.techarena.in

You need to locate/obtain the hardware device drivers for your individual hardware components and install them so your software (Windows XP in this case) can talk to/utilize your hardware. Internally - at least get these for now...
