    Sometimes we need to do a bit of a background before we just jump in and redo our system. Of course the reinstallation requires you to find and reinstall all the drivers once again. You are lucky Greg53 jumped in and had the knowledge to point you in the right direction.

    If you look at control panel/device manager...you will see yellow exclamations by all the hardware drivers tha need to be found and installed.

    I second what Les has stated, you need to do some research prior to jumping in and upgrading/downgrading your OS.

    Here you go RiconMD, you should find everything you need:
