    Ok I installed and can't get online.
    I get a windows pop-up saying...

    "Install a driver for your network adaptor.
    Windows did not detect a properly installed network adaptor.
    If you have a network adaptor you will need to re-install the driver."

    I've followed the idiots guide but checking that a couple of boxes are ticked is as far as I've got.
    Any help appreciated.

    you didn't load your motherboard drivers so if got a disk with the board then use it to install all your missing drivers. if no disk then use the link i posted & they don't make a ggs board but a dgs board.

    what is 'al sweet II'? what wiring as only wires used is power to motherboard & drives, data cables to drives from motherboard & cables from front usb\sound ports to motherboard, everything else is either in a slot or part of motherboard?
