Computer not seeing PCI cards

I have a custom built desktop with a SOYO KT400 Dragon Ultra MB, and Windows 2000 OS. Just recently I reformatted my drive to keep everything clean and fast, and when I reinstalled Windows 2000, and put on all the drivers, it left "PCI Simple Communications Controller" as not having a driver. I searched through the entire MB disk to find this driver and could not anywhere. The second problem is that my computer does not see my phone modem and wireless card (both on PCI). I think these problems are related, but I am not sure, and need some help to fix both.

 

You need to install the drivers for your specific communications device/s (modem, Wireless card). You will have to download the drivers specific to what you have from the manufacturers website of your modem and you wireless card. These are not on your motherboard disc. Apparently you have a modem and wireless card that Windows 2000 does not have built in drivers for, so therefore when you did a clean install of your OS, it didn't install the drivers for those devices, and since you formatted the drive to reinstall the Os you lost those drivers that were there before!!

Thanks for the tip, but this does not seem to be the problem. When I first started up the computer after the fresh re-install of windows, neither the modem or the wireless card were recognized as existing when I looked for them in my harware manager. I tried pulling them out and putting them back in, but still nothing. After reading the above post, I downloaded the driver for my modem (I got it OEM, so it had no disk) and pulled out my wireless card driver disk. I put both cards back in my computer and booted up. It instantly recognised the wireless card and I installed the drivers, but the modem card does not show up in my hardware manager, and when I click on the exe for the modem driver I downloaded, it does nothing.

My full System Specs are:
Windows 2000
SOYO Dragon KT400 Ultra Motherboard
768 Megabytes RAM
80 GB IBM HD
US Robotics model 3094.3095 OEM V90 Faxmodem
Netgear Wireless Adapter

Thanks for the help.

Edit: My modem was working fine until I reformatted my HD, and I have never had this problem with past reformats.

 

Okay, the more i work on this, the wierder things get. I tried putting the modem in a different slot, and when I powered up the computer (it usually beebs twice and then shows the bios screens) beeped once, like normal, and then beeped three times. After this, it just sat, and did not finish booting. Also, my USB optical mouse, which usually glows all the time the power is on, does not light up when I turn on the computer, and flashes on once for a second when it is doing the three fast beeps. I tried putting the modem back in it's original slot and removing it, for the same result.
