I had bought a new sound card for my PC, and when it was installed, it did not work. The person who installed it messed everything up, and now I cannot connect to the internet. I received an error message to contact my ISP, and when I did, they had me do an IPCONFIG. I went to start, run, typed in cmd, then the screen came up, and I entered ipconfig, and nothing happenned. The tech guy said my drivers for my NIC card had been removed. I connect to the internet through a cable modem. I now have no way to access the internet from that PC, and I need to know if there is any way I can get the drivers, or the adaptor as the error message below says I no longer have , back?? I have been using the pc for about 2 years now, and have always connected with AOL Broadband. The machine was fine yesterday, after the incident with the sound card, and all the sudden went down. I have tried SEVERAL times to do a system restore to go back to 3/12/07, and it will not let me. I get the message that we have new hardware installed, SM Bus Controller............I am not sure what that is, or how to remove it.
I have an emachines pc - MFG - Gateway
AMD Sempron 3000+ , MMX , 3D NOW processor
512MB RAM
WINDOWS XP - SP2
MS Office
ERROR I RECEIVE WHEN TRYING TO CONNECT TO INTERNET WITH AOL BROADBAND:
ERROR AC - 3001; err 0X84100118
TCP/IP Connection - NO IP ADAPTOR
OS WINXP-SP2; ACS 4.7.6.4
Any and all help will be appreciated.
