    Yellow Question Marks in control Panel
    « on: October 31, 2008, 02:14:27 PM »
    I had a Dell Dimension 3000 Desktop with XP SP2. I did backed all my data into external drive, went thru the things which are needed to get prepare for a new clean install and then formatted my drive and re-installed the XP SP2. But after reinstalling i am having 3 yellow marks, for Ethernet controller, Multimedia Audio Controller and Video Controller (VGA Compatible)

    Am mainly concerned with my screen resolution and network driver to connect to internet. So basically STUCK UP !
    I went thru one of the post which is similar to my case and the user id "ImnoGuru" had replied to the person resolving his/her error. Would kindly request to help me too to resolve my problem.

    I do have the DELL packing slip with me still which lists the following, which might help in guiding me.
    Item No   Description
    463-5947 15IN E153FPF, FPIB, CIM V
    430-0412  INTEGRATED, INTEL PRO 100M PCI NIC CARD

        Download, and install Everest: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4181.html
        Open it, click Computer, then Summary.
        In upper menu, go Report>Quick Report-Summary
        Save it in text file, and paste it in your next post.
        Don't include anything under line Debug - PCI

          Dell's only like Dell drivers...it's been this way forever.
          Travel to Dell's site...enter your Service Tag # from the rear of the machine and it will list ALL the drivers that machine needs....
          Chipset/MBoard drivers ALWAYS go first.

            Well i can't clik on those links but there is only one chipset driver set and this is the most important one...DLoad and start with that.
            Remember to re-boot after every driver install.

              I have uploaded the doc with the list of all the stated files.
              If feasible, can you now let me know what to install and in which order,
