I just installed a wireless pci card and a USB 2.0 pci card on my computer and both of them installed and worked like a dream. I then installed a USB 2.0 TV tuner (DVR), the drivers installed fine but the software kept freezing so I had to restart. When the computer started up I got the Install New Hardware window for a "Ethernet Controller" and a "PCI Serial Port", it said that it couldn't find the drivers for them. I've never gotten this message before and now my wireless card isn't working. I'm just wondering what happened to my computer and how can I fix it?

It could be a couple of things. The first thing to do is to take out the tuner card and replace the formerly working drivers on the next restart if still required.
Most likely, you locked up do to an I/O conflict. After you have all your normal stuff functioning again, reinstall using a different I/O or interrupt.
Good luck! HTH

Simple..
Your both drivers are crupted and you have to re-install the drivers which came with Hardware in a CD.
Re-Install the drivers to solve the proble.
Good Luck...

i guess the program freezes because you need more ram
and for the driver go to the ethernet manufacturer website they should have the driver on they're webpage
