Hoping this is the right section for this, but here's the story. My computer shut down randomly the other day, and through trial and error, I'd found out that a few windows files were corrupted. The easiest way to fix that (and clean out a few year's worth of junk, lol) was to reinstall, so it was done - upgraded from windows 2000, to XP.
Installed the drivers (nForce3) for the motherboard, downloaded from the Nvidia website, but it still won't connect to either the network or the internet. I've shut down and restarted everything, and still the same problem.
Am I just missing a driver, download a corrupt one, or something silly like that? Any help regarding this would be really appreciated - this has been frustrating me for a while now.
