Re: Driver

Hi,
Here are the drivers for XP:
http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu...50E&SelectOS=7
Your Chipset driver should have been installed first (under Motherboard)
Then the network driver and Wireless lan driver.
Is the Network controller your wireless LAN?
Bill

Re: Driver

OK,
Go to the DEVICE MANAGER.
Right Click on the Network Controller error>Properties>Details Tab.
Post the VEN/DEV number you see under Device Instance ID.
Thanks,
Bill

Re: Driver

Hi
This point to an Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
Set a restore Point and then try this driver:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filt...5&submit=Go%21
First one on the list. You will have to go through some agreements to download the file. Download the file to your Desktop.
Then Extract the file to a folder (you made). Through the Device manager (Network Controller) Right click>Update driver>No not at this time>include this list of files>Browse to the folder you made and see if windows will install the driver.
Bill
