i have a dell dimension 8250
i did a fresh xp install b/c my comp was going to ****
completely formatted the hard drive....
and i installed xp again, and also all the drivers discs i could find that i still have
however when i go to
my computer
manage
system tools
device manager
other devices
it shows ethernet controller is missing.... with a giant annoying ?
i have downloaded and installed
broadcom diag utility- netxtreme gigabit ethernet
broadcom driver- netxtreme gigabit ethernet
intel diag utility- 10/100 LOM
intel driver- 10/100 LOM
i was able *to my knowledge* complete installation on the first three
however when i downloaded the last one, i went to install
unzipped the file and it took me to install directions for xp
which is what i am running
but then it says i gotta have the disk inserted to install the program
so it's kinda like the download from dell is only a readme file
i'm begging you guys don't give up on me like other forums... i gotta get this desktop working again....
but those are all the steps i have taken so far
any questions just ask
but
HELP ME AHHHHHH:freak:
