I've installed a Linksys NIC in my PC (AMD Athlon 1800+ CPU, Win XP Home) and installed the drivers from the CD that came with the card. When I go into Device Manager, there is a yellow exclamation mark, and the message "device cannot start (code 10)". I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers to no avail and also tried the card in a different PCI slot, but still the same thing. Any ideas anyone?

You may have needed to install the drivers prior to install the hardware -- after the drivers are installed, you shut down and physically install the NIC and reboot, then Windows finds "new hardware" and installs the driver.
