I'm having trouble installing a wireless network card from NetGear. The card
was in a win xp sp2 pc that was fully patched and it worked. I've moved it
to another win xp sp2 pc w/ all current patches. I have the latest driver
from NetGear (v2007) and I tell it to use that driver when the "Install New
Hardware" wizard runs. However, at the end of the install, Windows tells me
it couldn't install the device "file not found" (no error number provided).
Netgear tech support feels that a Windows file from the drivers.cab file is
missing and they can not help. How do I determine which file is missing and
how do I recover it and get it appropriately installed short of reinstalling
Windows?
BTW…this is on an HP desktop that is running the original OEM image and it
doesn’t come w/ separate media disks for each product…it was my dad’s and the
original back up set of disk are long gone.
