this is probably a simple question, i hope you don't roll your eyes too much at it, but i just can't get it to work.

i just reinstalled xp home edition and i can't install my network card. it was working fine before the install, but now windows can't seem to find it. i have tried removing the card and plugging it back in. i've tried the add new hardware wizard, but neither will detect it. i have the manufacturers drivers, but i don't know how to install the card with just the drivers.

thanks
 
Look in Device Manager and remove the listed card and
reboot.

I have a similar problem, but XP doesn't seem to have any of the drivers, although it is supposed to(says the manufacturer)

Generally, in your case, just physically install the hardware, and boot the computer. Go to DEVICE MANAGER and update the drivers. If you need more detail, please email me and I'll lead you thru. The same procedure works for most Window types

Good luck
 
unfortunately, the card isn't listed in the device manager, windows hasn't found it yet.

Look for any entry in device manager that might be the card
and remove them.

Have you tried to use the install hardware wizard on the
control panel?

When you re-installed XP, it may have not "found" an ACPI compliant
BIOS, which will have an impact on how Plug and Play works within
Windows. You can rule that out by going to Device manager and clicking
the + sign by "computer". Once expanded, if you see Standard PC HAL
instead of ACPI Uniprocessor PC, then you may have found the problem.

If you see ACPI, then I would suggest putting the card in a different
slot on the sys board. I would also try removing and re-installing other
expansion cards and see if Windows PNP picks them back up.
