    My computer had a virus and crashed (Dell Optiplex 755) :cry. I had an XP O/S cd that I used to reinstall XP. The computer is up and running but no internet connection. In the device manager my internet connection, et al have yellow question marks all over and I've manually gone through all of the Intel drivers in the Device Manager but none of them will work. I've been looking all over the internet with another computer trying to figure out what to do, but I'm at a TOTAL loss. Is there a site I can go to, to download the correct driver I need to connect to the internet (onto a flashdrive) to get my computer online? Thanks! Love you guys! :)

    I can't believe it but I got my computer working!!!! :dancer I uploaded to a flash drive XP SP2 AND XP SP 3 and then went to my computer and downloaded and ran the updates. Then I went to the Intel website and uploaded (on flash drive) and then downloaded an update for my network adapter and all of a sudden I was up and running on the internet!!!!!!!!!! I have about 3 million updates (of course) running from Microsoft but I am so very happy. :celebrate Hopefully this will help someone else who doesn't have a clue what they are doing (like myself). rolleyesrolleyes

    Y'all have a great day!
