hmm, these are for WinME but then again they might work in xp... but, still they may fuck it up, too

edit: i have no fuckin clue whether you can use ME drivers in XP so don't take my advice before askin someone else too

Nonesense, format c: and fresh install of OS will sort u rite out.

Just did all that.. fresh XP installed.. all hardware found automatically just not this network card..

 

[Natsi]

so does it find the card or do you have to add it manually or is it just the driver missing?

 

[smark]

it does not find the card.. i tried to add it manually.. but the driver isn't there..

i tried www.3com.com but there's no XP driver either..

 

[Natsi]

if 3com has w2k drivers you could give them a go... but still, they can fuck it up...

 

[smark]

the whole site only has support/drivers for newer network cards.. not this one

 

[Natsi]

btw it's a pci card right?

try a default windows one, or a broad brand name.

think im using HP drivers for my canon printer atm
