Alright, I just bought a brand new Elite Group Mother Board and Processor. So I installed both, clicked on the heat sink. Then I popped in a new 200GB Sata Seagate Hard Drive. So I threw everything together and started her up. So I partitioned the hard drive and tried to put XP Media Center Edition 2005 No go I over used my product key. So I said what the hell, I have a Vista Ultimate Laying Around. Why not try it, well I got it installed, but I had a few difficulties getting the Mother Board Drivers installed. After a little bit of hassle and hair pull I got them installed. Here's where my problem is, I have my Lan Activity Monitor on my task bar with the no connection red "x" through it. When I hover over it I get "Connection Status: unknown" message. So I hit the diagnose and repair, and popped up the diagnose screen telling me I still had a problem. 1. The network adaptor "NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller" is experiencing driver or hardware realated issues. 2. Make sure your Internet Protocol Bindings are correct So I figured if I could get online with the computer I could figure these issues out. So I installed my D-Link Xtreme N Destop Card, and got it running... But now I have no Lan and I am connected to my router, but it tells me I'm "Connected with limited access" I'm trying everything I can just to get on the internet, I figure it would go alot smoother if I was able to get on the internet. I might be able to install my Service Pack, and troubleshoot... BUT NO So I ran a few Check Disk Pre-Boot operations and got back on... I keep getting errors when I try to install a downloaded version of SP1 I have so many problems with this box. I can't turn on Windows Firewall I can't defrag I can't open my D-Link Wireless Connection Manager I can't get alot of my security options to work I'm getting really frustrated, I'm the type of person to throw a computer off the roof of my house, so will someone please help a brother in need? -- wkoti |

It could be 3rd party software issue. For troubleshooting, start the Vista
with clean boot. -- Bob Lin, MS-MVP, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on http://www.HowToNetworking.com "wkoti" wrote in message ...
