Default PCI Ethernet Controller

Starting a new thread, hope to solve this:
PCI Ethernet Controller, does not appear in Add/remove.

In Device Manager, I saw PCI Ethernet Controller, question mark, no driver
installed, so I removed it.

When I rebooted, now I see a screen " New Hardware Found", windows wants to
find the driver for this- even after I removed it.

How to kill this message?

TIA

Mike

Mike,

It is quite normal not to see an entry in Add/Remove Programs for drivers
such as a those for a PCI Ethernet Controller. Rather than removing the
controller (although why not simply enable it and install the drivers even
if you are not on a network, it's not as if it will cause any problems)
make it unavailable in this hardware profile. You will find this an
option on the General tab for the controller in the Device Manager.

Thanks, Mike, since it was "removed", I will let ME try to find the driver
again and disable it as you suggest.

When I shut down each day, I clean the debris. So the deleted driver is
gone. Just now when I let windows find it, no luck.

Is there a registry key that needs to be changed?

Or a URL where I can download the controller and reinstall it again?

Thanks,

Mike

Mike,

If you are going to disable the PCI Ethernet Controller there is no need
to install its drivers. Instead just disable it in the hardware profile.

Thanks, Mike, that worked fine. Yesterday, it appeared in Device Manager,
was gone after I removed it. Today after cold boot, it is back again but
disabling it kills the message.

A trivial question-
It's been about 8 years since I needed to in W95, in ME I've forgotten how
to kill the confirmation screen on the Recycle bin, I looked in Properties,
don't see it ????

The only remaining issue is the password screen and the other posts will help.
