I just got a used laptop from a friend and purchased a nework card to put in it, It came with a disk and I cannot seem to get the driver to work?? It is an Intellinet PMCIA 10/100 Network card that came with a disk...which I do not know how to set up or anything, as for the laptop it is a Compaq Presario 1256 (I think) It was hooked up to dial up and I have no clue how to install this card besides the fact to pop it in and pop the disk in...? Can u guys help me????

You might have to download the driver directly from the company site.
Does the laptop have a floppy drive?
If so, you can try using that disk to install the needed drivers. Simply Plug in the card, wait for the windows hardware setup wizard to pop up, hit next when you get to the part that asks for the location of the drivers just click on the "floppy" check box. That should look at the floppy drive and install the drivers. Once thats done, you might have to reboot.
Give it a shot and let us know what happens.
