If it got banged around in the move check connections else, not much you can do but replace it: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3573172&CatId=130

And since you have no CD, try updating driver in device manager, although that probably isn't the problem

thanks ksiemb !!!...got it to working again...i never give up !...stumbled across a web site called "DriverZone"...thought it was probably another scam that finds missing drivers but asks you to pay to fix the problem...to my surprise it lived up to it's claim...totally free ! and it found the correct driver...downloaded & installed and now it works better than ever !...this time i saved the download to my folder where i keep all my set up programs...thanks again for your reply !
