Right now in the device manager I have got two devices that have two yellow exclamation marks :


Ethernet Controller
Unknown devices


Any advice how to come over this issue ?


Thanks

 

This is what I tried as well from the CD and it didn't work then I thought that CD only supports windows Visat and Windows 7 then I tried below :

But issue I was not able to extract .exe intel LAN driver to a folder to reapply the same procedure in the quote above

This is one didn't help to install the driver , although I tried that couple of times.

I am going to try that , but if it is .exe can you extract it ?

Okay let me try now and see how it goes

 

Yes you are right, because it is a fresh installation and I I fogot to install a zip program, once I installed one of them I was able to extract .exe file.

Now still facing same issue can't get the proper driver to be installed.

While If I try from the CD that came with motherboard to install the driver the below message pops uo

Code:

Cannot install drivers. No Intel(R) Adapters are presented in this computer

Before I installed windows 2008 , there was windows 7 installed and the LAN connection was working fine, means it was already enabled in the BIOS, although I had checked that after installing windows 2008.

Yes there is.

I will try again and update you now
