PNP Bios Extension Driver Not Loading

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell (More info?)

I discovered that Device Manager showed a yellow exclamation point on my
PNP bios extension in System Devices. It said that "something" (I failed
to write it down ) couldn't load the driver.
I deleted it and rebooted but now it is gone completely.
Can anyone help
TIA
Chuck
