    Go do Device Manager. (Right Click My Computer --> Properties --> Hardware Tab)
    Are there any yellow question or exclamation marks anywhere?

      yes, i do not have the disk anymore, and it says I cannot roll back the driver and no driver is found.  I also have the plug n play, but that is asking where to look to find the driver.  i am guessing that a full system restore may be needed

      DLoad install and run Everest Home...FREE.

      I don't think this will do anything to solve your problem.

      Do what Patio suggested and look on Google for the appropriate driver.
      (in google type: [hardware and model] driver)

        I did the system restore and all is better, i just have to re-delete the other files.
