Can you get ON-LINE with you LAN connection (Hardwired)?

The-OHCI COMPLIANT IEEE 1394 HOST CONTROLLER:
I will NEED to know what the version number of your BIOS is.
This can be found when the PC first boots up of possibly in your BIOS

The ETHERNET CONTROLLER:
We have choices here. The BEST thing to do:
Go to your Device Manager>Right click on the ETHERNET CONTROLLER>
Properties>Details Tab
Under DEVICE INSTANCE ID post what you see for the DEV/VEN numbers

The VIDEO CONTROLLER (VGA COMPATIBLE)
The driver posted above should have taken care of it.
Download and Reinstall the driver:
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/GRA...Go-15655.shtml
Be sure you have Downloaded the Nvidia 32Bit Forceware
GeForce Go 156.55 File

Or
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_178.24_whql.html
(Newer Version)

If it does not install using the exe file then do a manual install through the device manager as follows:
Extract Files to a folder. Run the installer. If it errors upon installation use the device Manager.
From Device Manager, right click "VIDEO CONTROLLER (VGA COMPATIBLE)".
Choose Update driver.
Check no to connect.
Install from a list or specific location.
Don't search I will choose the driver to install.
In the list of common hardware types, scroll down and select Sound, Video, and Game controllers.
Remove the check from "Show Compatible Hardware" and click on "Have Disk".
Next...browse to the Extracted folder you made
See if windows will pick up the driver.

Let me know your results
Bill
