XP LAN driver needed for Emachine ET1852

Hello all, hope there are some people in here a bit smarter than i am.

My mother just bought a new pc today and to run the programs she uses for work i had to install XP Pro instead of Win7, which after a few problems went fine.

The pc she bought was an eMachine ET1852: http://www.emachines.com.au/ec/en/AU/content/model/PV.NCT02.002

Now though the problem is that i can't find the networx drivers installed, and i have searched around, but i am afraid ¨my knowledge on such things are really limited, so i would like to ask if anyone knows, or can find a solution for my problem.

Thank you in advance. If any more info is required ask, and i will find out

Hello,
Download this driver from Realtek

WinXP 32/64 and Win2K Auto Installation Program

http://www.realtek.com/downloads/do...n=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true

This may not work as your computer was designed only for Windows 7 but give it a try. If it does not work we can try another way.

Edit: Sorry, did not see falconattack's post.

Realtek didn't work. It says after installing: Please shut down and plug Realtek PCI card to complete the installation. No progress after restart.

@tgell

Thank you very much

 

Your last post was a thank you. Did you get the driver to work? If not, try this one which is a PCI-E.

WinXP, Win2K, Win2003 Auto Installation Program (SID:1469823) v.5.790

Edit: If the driver is shown in ADD/Remove programs, I would uninstall first if you need to install this driver.

 

Oh meant thank you for the help. It worked like a charm

 

Thanks for the feedback! :wave

 

Sorry for delay , i got back right now , i am glad that you find a solution to your problem !! :wave
