Hi
I have a compaq presario v3000 (v3422tx to be exact). I have installed OEM Win XP Home on it, as it only came with Freedos OS. I have an Intel 945PM chipset which is apparently missing the drivers, including the modem and ethernet, so no internet. I have tried downloading the drivers from the Intel website and extracting them to my computer via usb but Add New Hardware wizard says that the file is not available in this location when I map to it. The HP/compaq website gives no support for xp chipset driver for my model and I have no idea where to go from here, so any help whatsoever would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks,
Cyn
