Myke, thanks. Electrical is possible, I suppose, especially because today it's reappeared without me doing anything except boot up. Got to go out now, but later I think I'll try up[censored] the drivers while it's there. Thanks again.

My CD/DVD drive has disappeared - not shown in Explorer or Device Manager. After Googling, I tried the Lower/Upper Filters Registry trick even though that only seems to work if the CD Drive is still showing in Device Manager with a Yellow exlamation mark. No joy. I reset the BIOS to factory defaults and that made the CD/DVD drive reappear. Fantastic. But then the next time I booted up, the drive had disappeared again and the BIOS factory default trick won't work anymore. It's a DELL Inspiron 6400 laptop. Any advice appreciated.

Solved. Realtek RTL8110SC. Info might be helpful to someone else. But what on earth are Iqon up to, shipping PCs with key drivers not loaded and no driver CD. Might also be helpful to others that Googling revealed that Iqon is somehow closely linked to Philips and Everex. Mad Nick PS Blow me down but Iqon tech support replied to my E-mail after I'd already solved it myself.

I have a question if I may : what Ethernet Controller driver do I need for an Iqon Quintal 2028 desktop PC ? Background - I'm trying to connect friend's new PC (see title) to broadband. It came with Vista, but I've installed XP in a new partition. My old SAGEM USB modem (from Tiscali) installs OK but when I try "connect" it says "no dial tone" and vainly tries to reallocate bandwidth. I'm pretty sure that's because the modem's on the end of miles of phone cable. Give up on Plan A. Plan B is a Belkin wireless modem/router which she wants to use wired. My laptop picks up the wireless network. But the PC is not seeing the modem down an Ethernet cable. Device Manager shows the Ethernet Controller as yellow question mark. Much Googling reveals that Iqon habitually ship PCs with many drivers missing, their website is rubbish and they don't reply to E-mails. So, does anyone know what the brand of Ethernet Controller is in an Iqon Quintal 2028 (or how I can find out without tearing her new PC apart !). Thanks in anticipation.
