    Hello people,

    im new here and i will say sorry for my bad english as first, I have problems with my HP Pavillion m9362.nl I downgraded from windows vista home premium to windows XP x64 and now i dont have internet drivers i dont know what i need to search i searched much things and tried but nothing worked for my maybe majorgeeks kan find the drivers for my?

    pc: HP Pavillion m9362.nl
    system: windows xp x64
    previous system:windows vista home premium

    I had long time ago an usb wireless scanner, but now i dont have one (lazy to tell the reason) then i had run microsoft update and drivermax everything goes oke, but now i cant run drivermax because i cant connect to internet LAN or Wireless.

    Im now on ubuntu on xp i cant connect to internet because i dont have drivers, in the driver manager the 802.11 g/b something like that is yellow and some other things.


    greetings boomreview, i hope you guy can help me come out the problem im looking long in google.

    Ok i have found this...

    http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_nf4_winxp64_amd_6.66.html

    this is the chipset driver for XP 64 bit download and install following the prompts and re-boot for your system to recognise the changes.

    Here is the wireless one for you also.......

    Hi,
    So you have downloaded the drivers Via ubuntu?? If you have boot your machine into XP and locate the drivers and install them from there... if the NVid one install alright on ubuntu then you should now have an Ethernet/Lan internet connection to download and instal the ralink drivers. I would strongly advise against using third party driver finder solutions, you just don't know what you are getting and you could end up with a royally ****'d machine.
    I also don't think anyone else on here would host the file that you need unless it came from their machine.. Sorry!!!
    But like I say you should now have an internet connection in XP through the Ethernet port.

    I solved the problem it was easy, the device doctor was an update not an driver finder! Then I searched for device driver finder, then I found an software named "Driver Robot" I scan with the software (after I downloaded and installed) it saved the result as .html and needed opend by internet explorer with internet connection on the computer, i switched to ubuntu and downloaded WineHQ and open it with wineHQ browser then i saw the needed drivers I click on download but download wont start copied the link (on ubuntu) and paste it in mozilla firefox and downloaded everything set it on XP and tada i have now wireless connection im updating windows xp now

    Yeah! boomreview
