Hello,
This is the latest driver for your chipset (GeForce 6150SE nForce 430). Is this the one you downloaded. Also, I believe the motherboard is M2N68-LA not LN for your computer.

thank you for your reply i did try to install that chipset and the 64bit im downloading from your link now to try this one more time but last time it just installed display drivers but will let know if it works...........there is always the chance i click the wroung thing :banghead

 

well it did not seem to work this time either. for some reson when you download chipset off nvida they just give you the disply drivers. will email nvidia see what they have to say surely thers a driver somewhere out there..

 

The driver I referenced was listed as supporting the 430 chipset.
You said that you were running XP SP3. Are you running the 64Bit version of XP?

Going to the drop down box here. I went to legacy in product type and nforce 4 series for product series and Nforce 430/6150SE for the product.

That listed the driver for XP 64bit here.

And the 32bit driver here.

But, I did a separate search for the standalone 430 chipset which includes your ethernet driver and got these results.

Here is the standalone chipset driver for XP 32bit.
Here is the standalone chipset driver for XP 64bit.

Edit: you may have more luck if you clean out your previous Nvidia drivers with Driver Sweeper

 

i knew i was on the right track i have already tried all those drivers with no luck will run driver sweeper and try reinstall. im running xp performance 2010 which i belive is a xp pro 64bit but when i go system prop. i cant find reference to wether or not its 64 or 32bit. dont really want to go back to vista but hp has all vista drivers for sr5413wm avail on website:cry

 

You can tell if it is 32bit or 64bit by the following by right clicking my computer and selecting properties. Look at the info under the General tab.

The operating system is displayed as follows:
* For a 64-bit version operating system: Windows XP Professional x64 Edition Version < Year> appears under System.
* For a 32-bit version operating system: Windows XP Professional Version <Year> appears under System.

You can also use this method.

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. Type winmsd.exe, and then click OK.
3. When System Summary is selected in the navigation pane, locate Processor under Item in the details pane. Note the value.
* If the value that corresponds to Processor starts with x86, the computer is running a 32-bit version of Windows.
* If the value that corresponds to Processor starts with ia64 or AMD64, the computer is running a 64-bit version of Windows.

 

i know linux is getting alot more user friendly do you think that unbuntu or xunbuntu (or other Linux?) would be a good alternative to vista...not planning on staying a novice for ever..?:confused

 

thank you for you time. i guess befor i head to the linux forum on the topic of driver issues do you think that switching to linux would solve my driver issue other than going back to vista.....i dont really game,but got have graphic design

 

after some research i decided to go with mint and downloading now. nvidia provides chipsets for linux so hopefully this will resolve the os conflict that im sure is the case and from photoshop to GIMPshop should be a easy transition.
i guess i ll head to the linux fourm..
thanks
