Did a trojan trash my hardware?

by snaketooth10k . Updated 16 years, 6 months ago

I recently got a nasty trojan on my computer that did serious damage to my device drivers, mainly the network and communications devices. I reinstalled all of the drivers from the disk, but they still gave error 31: driver could not be loaded. I reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled windows vista, but now the same thing is happening. I still get error 31 after installing the drivers from the disk. With all fresh software, does this mean my hardware is destroyed? I can’t connect to the internet with that computer because all of my network devices aren’t working.
