    ok I tried that but it still means nothing to me....however, I googled the Maxtor DiamondMax 16 and found an online manual - it's a 60Gb Maxtor DiamondMax 16 Model 4R060J0 - it doesn't give basic easy to read specs though

    WE DO NOT NEED THE HDD SPECS.

    We need the PC specs.

    Like make & model No. (Dell, HP/Compaq, Fujitsu)

    Like Motherboard (Asus, MSI, Gigabyte)

    then I assume that would be the following:

    Maxtor DiamondMax 16 60GB - ASRock is the only name that is in large print on what I assume is the motherboard.

    If not then I will have to take it somewhere because I don't know anything else about it - did I mention that I'm no computer techy?

    I appreciate you trying to help me but it may be useless at my end!

    device manager


    Hi Emmanual,
    in your original post you stated the error as
    Device driver did not install >>properly<<.

    please do this, so that we can see the network device, a USB presummably.
    ControlPanel>deviceManager>networkdevices.
    you should be seeing something like the black downward icon, as in my screenshot no 3,
    or MORE likely a yellow warning triangle.
    click on that then RIGHTCLICK>properties>updatedriver.
    and hopefully it will update correctly.

    if not please screenshot it
    with devicedriver screen open select snipping tool, screen will greyout
    move curser to device driver a large arrow will appear drag it to just above network adapters and drag it down past the error you want to copy select SaveAs>name it >save to pictures. attach to next reply

    1 I suggest you do the steps above first

    2 When you have downloaded the program transfer it to a flash drive hopefully you have one then install on the desktop run the program Capture the screenshots and save to flash drive And post the results back
