    More details would be helpful. Router, internet, software, what is the specific problem. In the case of your router, eliminate it and plug directly into your broadband connection without it. We can figure it out more from there.

    Hi

    You are using beta software in XP SP3 so likely you may see issues with some updates as its not final release ( especially drivers on occasion as with SP3 not being final most hardware companies are not fully supporting it as yet ), so you would have to revert back to SP2 to get current updates to work properly.

    If any are listed what are the error codes to them not installing? ( and in full please )

    Does the router work ok and all your shown is a driver update?

    Plus as MA mentions, what is the router make and version?
