|||A while back my onboard VIA Compatable Fast Ethernet Adapter stopped
|||working, so I went out and bought a new one.. a Linksys LNE 100TX (v5)
|Fast
|||Ethernet Adapter which is enabled in device manager.. I disabled the VIA
|||COmpatable One, AND when I tried to uninstall it , windows tries to
|install
|||it every time I boot up.. What is the best way to handle this? Thanks
for
|||any input.. Rainy..

||You'll need to enter your system's BIOS settings and disable the onboard
||adapter. That way Windows will not detect it upon booting.

|Hi Rainy,
|
|Each BIOS is (very) different. When you first enter you usually have main
|categories to choose, such as Standard CMSO Setup, Power Management Setup,
|PCI/Plug & Play Setup, and so on.
|
|In mine it's under the Features Setup and listed as Ethernet Device. Just
go
|through each of your headings. Once you find it you'll see it's Enabled.
|Using the minus or plus keys on your keyboard's number pad you'll be able
to
|change it to Disabled.
|
|Then you'll need to exit BIOS Saving the new settings.
|
|Hope this helps.

Rainy,
Do you know what type/version of BIOS you have? If not, when you boot the
machine when the first screen comes up it should say the mfg/version the
BIOS is. You can use the pause/break key on your keyboard to stop the system
so you can read it if its to fast. Then hit enter to resume.
