OK...one more try...I let windows search for a driver for the other question
mark with an exclamation point and let it install another proper PCI
controller. Now when I open the device manager there are no question marks.
However, after rebooting, the Add Hardware still reports that another device
is being installed and that I must wait until it has completed that before
launching the wizard.
Still not working.
