Token Ring Network Controller needs a Driver?

Question

When I turn on my computer the system opens and starts looking for a Driver for the Token Ring Network Controller..I searched my computer for the answer and found nothing. And then I found this...Olicom 32 bit Token-Ring Network Controller..So I went to down load the driver and there were like 1000's of different down loads for it.. I was told that my Windows Vista Home Premium did not need this? That it goes with a system 8 to 15 years ago? Now I did try to take the stuff off of my old computer's storage device and I was wondering if I down loaded this problem then?

Hi Henry1951,

·          Who is the manufacturer of the computer?

·          Did you make any changes on the computer prior to this issue?

Let’s uninstall the network adapter from device manager and reinstall it and check if it solves the issue.

1.Type devmgmt.msc in start search box and hit Enter.

2. In device manager, expand the network drivers listed in the device list.
3. Right click on the network driver > click Uninstall.> Put a check in “Delete all driver files”> Click OK.
4. Reboot the computer. The default network drivers will get installed automatically.
