The files will be extracted to the system32 folder probably, as it was an .exe file download.  any joy now? This will be my last post 'till I get back

ok i checked the system 32 folder i cant find any thing that seems right also on the website it says

"Download the self-extracting archive and run it. When you run it, it will extract the files to a temporary directory, run the installation wizard, and remove the temporary files when the installation is complete. All language files are embedded in this archive. You do not need to download an extra language pack.

NOTE: Refer to Readme.htm for installation instructions for extracting the files Without Installing."

i used search in windows to find: self-extracting archive, Readme.htm, temp, and install wizard.

i have know idea

 Hi, thought I'd add my two cents worth.
I reformatted a friends computer (some Hewlett Dell Compaq thing) a few months ago and had the same problem.
My friend didn't have the original motherboard disc that came with the system, & when I installed the network I had the same problem.
I think from memory I had to search for some file that isn't in the intel network drivers (from Intel) but is on the Hewlett/Dell/Compaq driver disc.
I can't remember which file it was, or where I got it from though 
Hope this helps.

well i got it to work i found the right driver in a pile of disks yay

how ever im trying to find the right driver for my comp. isnt there a automated way to install drivers from the internet through the device manager?

the screens refresh rate is real low and if i use the driver supplyed on the disk it dosent seem to work.

the windows xp logo comes up (the low res one with the blue loading bar just below it) and then the screen just flickers and goes dead promptly after so i cant tell where i am and i end up just killing the power to the computer.

Yep if you have SP2 then right clicking the relevant hardware description and selecting properties will open a tab, select driver and there is an update driver button.  This will get the latest MS verified driver
