edbedb the serial number you entered ends in 9, mine ends in 8. different results...
htowntechy, the pc doesn't have Ethernet drivers , so no internet access for the directory you specified. cannot download

I just checked it again. It ends in 8 not 9. I used the number you provided.
try this to identify the devices :
Start>Programs>Accessories
Now select "Components" and highlight "Problem Devices".
All hardware devices with a driver problem will be listed here.
Make a note of the first line of the PNP Device ID line of the entry. It will show a Vendor number and a Device number (VENxxxxDEVxxxx) both four digits long.
Look up those numbers here: http://www.pcidatabase.com/index.php
This will tell you the manufacturer and the chip number. Check the manufacturer's website first or google them
