Hi

since formatting and reinstalling XP Home sp1 with all of the updates my
Etehrnet Controller is not working.

In Device Manager there is a yellow ?! beside it and in Properties it says
"The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)"

I have tried updating the driver, both with the XP CD and the automatic
searching the Internet but nothing is working.

Any ideas on where I can find a driver?

thanks

Daniel

Daniel,

Motherboard CD

If it is on-board (on your motherboard) then get the model of the motherboard & go to the
manufacturers website to get the drivers.

If however it isn't built into the motherboard then find the manufacturer/model of the
card & then get them from them

It's rather difficult to suggest a source for drivers since you have not
given any information that would help.

Is the Ethernet controller provided by a chip on the motherboard or is it
a card whether PCI or USB? What is the maker of the card or chipset used?
Did a CD or DVD come with the computer or Ethernet device that might have
drivers on it?

Hi Newbie Coder and Tom

sorry about my lack of info, not thinking I guess,
but I went to the Motherboard site and got one there,
it's working now.

Thanks for the help and suggestion

regards

I'm glad you found suitable drivers and that it is now working.
