thanks I will have to get his info and look for the drivers since he has no connection. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jo Ann Weaver To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2008 7:33 Patricia Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: EMachine question When you format, you lose all your drivers. If Windows doesn't have the replacement drivers, then he needs to download them from the manufacture's site. Has he tried other USB devices and do they work? If so then it's probaly driver problems. He should also try to download the ethernet drivers. That might be the problem with it too.
