Please help me (PC problem)

Basically, I moved my computer from one room to another, which means that I unplugged all the cables and then plugged them back in once I situated the computer. Anyway, first my pc didn't recognize my video card, which only required that I shut down the pc, tighten the monitor's cable to the video cart port, and then it worked. Now, everything works fine, but an annoying "Found new Hardware" wizard will not stop popping up on my desktop, telling me that my machine recognizes a new network controller. I have no idea what this means. I assume that it means it recognizes my ethernet card, whatever that means. My ethernet cable (for DSL) is plugged in fine, and I'm obviously on the internet, but the wizard will not go away. I click cancel and it pops up again. I go through every possibility (and check the "Don't prompt me again to install this software" at the end of wizard) in the wizard, all which lead to me clicking Finish. Still, it pops up. It's frustrating having this wizard constantly on my desktop. Any help is appreciated.

I suspect you unseated something slightly. Try opening up the box and making sure all your cards and stuff are seated securly, especially the graphics card (since you mentioned you had problems with that).

try switching pci slots and doing the wizard once again. and if the card was slightly unseated he would probably be experiencing a different problem than the wizard. however if you don't want to switch pci slots you can go to the control panel, then go to system, then hardware and then device manager and uninstall the network card from there and then restart, then the wizard will popup and then you should go threough the wizard once more. if it still pops up then try switching pci slots.
