Hi and welcome to MG's,
Have you tried to restore your laptop to before you uninstalled realtek driver?? Your laptop should have a sevice tag # on laptops it is usually under the Ram expansion slot cover, if you cannot restore your machine then I will need this # as it will help find the correct solution for your issue.

@ falconattack.... this is the wrong version of driver for his system .

@ undeadcannabal.... please download and install the drivers in the order that I give them... it is very important that re-start your machine after each install.

1. Chipset... http://support.dell.com/support/dow...peid=-1&formatid=-1&impid=-1&checkFormat=true

2. Chipset update... http://support.dell.com/support/dow...peid=-1&formatid=-1&impid=-1&checkFormat=true ... choose hard-drive update second one down.

3. Audio.... http://support.dell.com/support/dow...peid=-1&formatid=-1&impid=-1&checkFormat=true

when you have your audio/sound back please go to device manager and see if you have any yellow ! marks in any of the device trees and let me know.

Here is a link to the driver page for your system, bookmark it or create a driver install disc for future reference.......

This is the ethernet driver

Download them using IE browser !! :cool

 

yes i followed the instructions and it says no driver was supported in this driver package, the ethernet download didn't work either

 

Hello,
According to your Everest report your Ethernet Controller is a Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet BCM5764. Download the driver here. Unzip in an admin account. Go to Device Manager and under the Ethernet Controller properties select Update Driver. Then point it to the folder you unzipped the files in.

 

this is probably a stupid question but which one do i download because none of the ones listed match the number i have

 

The first one on the list for XP 32bit Ver.14.6.0.6a

Edit. Even though it is not mentioned, I opened the inf file of the driver and your chip is supported. As a double check what is the Vendor ID and Device ID on the device?

yay thats the ethernet business done with, just the sound which im starting to think is more hassle than its worth. thank you for that :clap

 

Download the following chipset utility software for intel chips. It will only install what is needed.

Also, can you post the hardware and vendor id for the HD audio?

 

ive used the utility thing already and it didn't change anything. im not sure where the hardware and vendor id is, ive found something but i might be way off


HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0272&SUBSYS_102802D6&REV_1000
HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0272&SUBSYS_102802D6

 

Download this driver and see if it helps. Install in an admin account.
