Did you actually click on each one of the problem devices to get the details of what the problem is?

Most likely it is missing/wrong drivers, probably motherboard drivers...mostly, but check each device individually, first.

I am at there web site now on another computer and click on search for mobo name but it gives me recovery bios..I don't think that is what i want...how do I get what I need please. tks for helping as usual. How do I install the Intel Chipset Software utility?

should I go here http://mysearch.intel.com/corporate/...ulture%3Den-US

and d/l this Intel® 945P Express Chipset ???

Start here (http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/filter_results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=2064&OSFullName=&lang=eng&strOSs=All&submit=Go%21) with the INF Utility...it should be a exe, just run it and it should automatically install.

Then, if you are using the onboard LAN, Audio or any of the other onboard items, then you'll need to grab them too.

If the board isn't actually an Intel made board, then for the LAN/Audio/etc you should probably grab the dirvers from the manufacturer's website...there may be differences from the standard Intel supplied dirvers...

[mjc]

The one I linked to is the basic chipset drivers...things like USB and such.

[24giovanni]

[mjc]

OK, pick on of the devices and paste the exact error message here....
