Since you got the device manager open, why not double or rightclick on the lines with the yellow triangles marking them and get the details? It's possible that they're either the wrong drivers or that Windows wants to warn you they're not signed by E-Machines or Microsoft, but there are other possibilities. See also...support forums. Oh, and WinXP Home is pretty well deprecated; you might want to install a current OS (Ubuntu, Fedora 15 (that's a CD .iso around 550MB there), WattOS 3, Windows 7 lite, etc.) and pick a window manager like LXDE, fxce, etc, rather than gnome. Not that I think KDE4 is slow, but it might **** up your 2GB before you're ready just caching fonts (just like Win7.)
BTW just 2 GB, not 2 GB's; unless you say 17 Gal's tank, 82 dollars's worth of gas, etc. If it's not a contraction (I'd, it's, they'd, mam'selle, 'gat'r, ain't;) it's possessive. (Which I just learned has four 's'es in it. So there's a single-quote exception I used for a single letter where I could also have just used s as its own plural. So it was worth saying for me, right?)
I do have a key with foam surrounding it so it doesn't get pressed, but it's the 'sleep' key. Sometimes the 'wake' key is still in testing.... The 'caffeinate' button is on another box for no good reason, etc.
You have to use the original manufacturer Installation CD.
Among other things it contains all the needed drivers for your computer.
As a tip, when you have the yellow exclamation mark on the device manager, and also you "know" you have the right drivers loaded, rigth click on that device, and chose Uninstall.
At next reboot, Windows will detect and reinstall the device, usually with the right driver, solving your problem
Good luck
