Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

i put an old NIC card into my computer and i didnt have
the software for it so it didnt work... so i bought a new
one and installed it without uninstalling the other NIC
card and now everytime i turn on my computer it says i
have new hardware detected... being the old NIC card and
i have tried uninstalling it and i have it physically
removed and i wonder if there is anyway to remedy that
problem

Remove all nics from device manager then reboot. It should find just one and
install the drivers

What motherboard do you have ?
Are you sure there is not an ethernet connector on the motherboard ?

Since nothing else worked I would suggest a Repair Installation of XP.
Make sure the nic card is not installed before you do the Repair
Installation.You will also have to install SP1 and other updates as the
installation will remove them.
