[AccessD] VM loses connection briefly

My Wife's PC main motherboard seems to have a similar issue when doing a clean install - it can never find the driver for the LAN connection which is a right PITA.  I need to get a copy of the driver from the OEM website (via a 2nd PC that has internet connection, luckily I have a few of them laying around the house) and then install.   This slows things down a lot as windows cannot update as it installs.  Bah... I guess it is not something I need to do often, but I am just lucky I know enough about these things to figure out a fix....

Just a comment, not quite related to the topic, but rather to the driver-related part of it. About a month ago I bought a 1TB USB 3.0 external drive, primarily so I could back up and then reformat my four internal drives and rebuild them from scratch (not restore them). The boot drive was running Windows 7 Ultimate. So once everything was backed up, I reformatted the drives and reinstalled Win7 Ultimate and various essentials such as Office 2007, NoteTab, xPlorer2 and a couple of other things I can't live without. Then I did a regular backup of that so if ever I needed to, I could restore my essential setup very quickly. Anyway, that's not the point. The point is that somehow, some way, after rebuilding the boot drive, my sound card failed to work. After much investigation, Google searches, etc., I discovered that its driver had gone missing. How, I have no idea. Anyway, I was about to go buy a replacement when I finally learned that the driver was missing. I downloaded it and presto, the card was back in business! Lucky day for me.
