You need to find out what network card you have and reinstall the drivers
for it.

Exactly. Also the files ending with .chm are help files. The file
ending in .dll is a Dynamic Linked Library file. This is most likely
required for your drivers or at least the ability for your software to
control the drivers/hardware.

I've done that many times over. I decided to pop the case and have a look.
It seems the capacitors are screwed. There was a yellowish crust formed on
the outside of them. Apparently that has happened alot with Aopen boards. I
think the warranty is only 1 year (Japan) and it's 2 years old.

Any idea how to fix the MoBo or should I just replace it? Can you
recommened a board with stable capacitors and RAMBUS capability?

It's not just AOpen, and it's not just motherboards that are affected. If
you do a search online for leaking capacitors, you'll find plenty to read
about.

It's possible to replace the capacitors, and there are places you can send
the motherboard, or buy a repair kit, but it may not be worth it unless it's
a great motherboard and/or you can't replace it for some reason.

As far as stable capacitors, new ones shouldn't be a problem as long as it's
from a reputable company who isn't using the defective stock.
