Look at this from Dell http://support.dell.com/support/edoc...en/trouble.htm

this part
If DOS Diagnostic Program Cannot Find The Adapter: When installing the Adapter on some PCs, the SETUP program might tell you it cannot find the Adapter. If this occurs, follow these easy steps:

1. Enter the PC BIOS
2. Open the plug-&-play OS field
3. There will be two (2) options, "Yes" and "No"
4. Set to "No"
5. Save your new configuration
6. Reboot your PC

not sure if this will help but
Try a System File Check go to Run – type “sfc /scannow” (without the quotes and note space after sfc) have Win disc available in case sfc needs to replace or repair any files. The program runs with no alerts and then closes.

have you checked Win Updates to see if a driver there
