Ned here's an approach from Megahertz:
Yellow "!" shown Next To Card In "Device Manager"
---------------------------------------------------
When this occurs it means that Windows 95 sees the card but has not
configured it correctly. Fix this by following these steps:
(1) "Remove" all Our cards listed in the Device Manager.
(2) Physically remove the card from the slot.
(3) Delete the files DRVDATA.BIN and DRVIDX.BIN from C:\WINDOWS\INF.
(4) Re-insert the card.
=============
Hope this helps...
