I bought an HP Pavilion m7640n desktop computer with an AMD 5000+ dual core processor. &nbsp;I do not want all of the garbage on the machine that came with it and want to install XP Pro cleanly from scratch. &nbsp;I put in a new hard drive and installed Windows XP Pro as well as an Nvidia 6600 PCIE card. &nbsp;The problem I am running into is that in the device manager, it does not show any network adapter except for the 1394 Net Adapter and listed under other devices, it shows 5 question marks. 1. Multimedia Video Controller. 2. Other PCI Bridge Device. 3. PCI Device. 4. PCI Simple Communications Controller. 5. Unknown device. &nbsp;When I went to HPs website, I thought that it would give me a list of all the drivers I needed but it did not. The network adapter is embedded on the mother board and does not even show up in the device manager so I can't connect to the internet. &nbsp;Is there anyone who has had experience in this sort of problem?<br />
The computer is considerably faster without all of the extra stuff that HP has added to the computer and that is why I want to start with a fresh install of Windows but I do not know how to get around the problem described above.<br />

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.
