5367	2000-07-06 00:25:00	I have a Pentium II computer with Windows 95 o.s. I have this networked to a 486 running Windows 95. Twice now when I have logged on to the Pentium II, the 'Update Device Driver Wizard' has popped up and Windows will no longer access the network. I have done nothing that would affect the driver. The first time this happened I tried eveything I could think of without reinstalling the driver. Then for no apparent reason, Windows found the driver and all was OK; until last night when it happened again. My questions are: 1. Why does it happen? 2. Is there anything I can do to force Windows to find the driver without reinstalling the driver? 3. Is a long term solution never to turn off the computer? I have noticed that Windows tends to be OK when running but occassionally gets screwed up when booting. This problem appears to be an example. I am reluctant to reinstall the driver as I have not done this before and I have been told my many more expert than me that networks and not easy to set up. Thanks in anticipation, David	Guest (0)
