    I'm messing with my brother's system which is:
    Pll 450 with 128 Ram and 80 gb (new) hard drive.
    Running Windows 98SE.
    When I go into System Properties/Device Manager it shows (among other things) that the pci ethernet controller and pci multimedia device aren't working.
    It can't find the drivers to update with so I don't quite know what to do.
    The chipset is identified as:
    Intel 440 chipset family
    Memory Controller:
    82443bx/dx/zx
    I/O controller:
    82371eb (Pllx4e)

    Is this enough info for you to help? Let me know if you need more.
    Thanks

    Its looking for sound card and network card drivers.

    If you know the brand and model, you should be able to find them on the net.

    I identified the card alright but I have been trying to install the drivers for about 6 hours without any luck.
    It keeps saying I need files and DLLs (a bunch of DLLs) that it can't find on windows or the windows disk.
    I have tried just about every angle to get the drivers installed.
    Any ideas?
    Here is the info:

    Ok, I tried all the Netgear drivers for the fa 310tx dz I could find but ran into some problems.
    First, I couldn't get the drivers to install without maually entering the path to each needed file.
    I finally got one installed and in Device Manager it said it was working fine.
    On reboot though, I got a message that it wasn't working and a real slow boot. Then windows would not shut down and I had to do a hard shut down each time.
    Every time I tried to do anything with the driver such as disable, remove or anything else to do with it the computer locked up tighter than a gnat's butt.
    Finally I booted into safe mode and disabled it.
    The boot time speeded up a little.
    I don't know if it's related or not but I kept losing himem.sys(about 4 times).
    Do you think it might be a bad network card or what?
    Any solutions?
    Thanks again.

    This is where I step out.

    I don't know enough about Windows 98 to be for sure.

    Kinda sounds like the NIC is borked though.

    Thanks again Adrynalyne,
    Yea, my brother told me he had to hire a guy to set him up on the network in his office with this machine.
    The guy had a tough time too so maybe the card is trashed or just to old.
    If anyone has any other ideas please let me know.
