Hi,
I want to reinstall the windows XP operating system onto my on my desktop Dell duel core. The device manager shows that three base system devices, Ethernet controller, network controller, PCI device, sm Bus Controller, and video controller (VGA Compatible) are missing.
How can I resolve this problem or what to do fix this?
I have an internet connection, if required.
Thanks.
Good day,
Using your system device and difficulty of plugging and updating hardware is such a headache. Actually this matters develop because it has a lack of insufficient software in your system. In order to have those you mentioned of missing devices above, you need to have a software of your Dell computer.
Sometimes in window XP the system or component are manually installed. And cannot be easily updated thru internet. You just need to find the CD installer of your Dell Computer in order to fix the problem.
I highly recommend to used the WINDOWS 7. It will automatically update your driver and install the latest version of you system.
Hope that this will work with you.
Greetings Imran,
Hello Dear,
Hello Dear,
You have not installed the drivers of these three devices, so that you are missing these devices.
Now you cannot connect to internet because your LAN Card driver is also missing as you described in question.
So please get to the CD shop and buy a CD of your computer to install the required drivers. Tell the complete model and brand of your computer to the shop keeper. He will give you a CD having all drivers.
Install this CD to your computer.
Or connect to the internet from any other computer and go to the following website.
This website contains all types of drivers of all brands and models.
Download all the drivers of your computer free from this website and install them into your computer.
Now you will be able to see your devices that were missing.
Thanks
