network adapter not found

have been trying to install network adapter after original
seemingly went bad. have tried 3 adapters and none are
even seem by computer. tried adapter in older 233 mhz
computer and the system found it but the 667 mhz computer
wont yet it still sees the original adapter even though it
says it doesnt work. I cna install the drivers neede but
the device comes up with red X across symbol of adapter.
Is tis a hardware problem or is it a software problem, if
so how do I repair it?

What is your PC model and brand?
What is your Network interface card (NIC) model and brand?

how did you try to install drivers?
some of NIC are required install with utility software.
make sure you have right software for NIC.
If you ahve right software installed on your PC.
open device manager and adjust resources in NIC properties.
this adjust things on most of NIC's installation guide or user guide.
check the one you have.

boot to safe mode and delete all nic's from device manager.

reboot and see if it works ...if no joy , try moving nic to a different slot

post back if no joy
