No Network Card found

I just finished installing Microsoft Windows Vista Beta 2 on my C drive.
Currently I am running Windows XP with a MSI P965 Platinum Motherboard.
Everything works fine when running Windows XP. However when I am running
Vista, it cannot connect to the internet as it says that no Network adapter
found. I tried running the automatic diagnostic tool but no avail. I cannot
seem to find a solution anywhere and I am at my wits end. Shall appreciate
any help from the gurus.

Thanks

Is your network adapter onboard? If so, go to MSI's download site for your
specific model motherboard. Hopefully there will be Vista drivers for your
board, including built-in components like sound and network adapter (if
applicable).

If there are no drivers and the NIC is onboard, you are pretty much out of
luck. Throw in a supported PCI NIC instead. Or try the XP drivers and see
what happens.
