Driver it asks for a driver/software when it loads up i cant see it in my computer i have windows xp

Patricia,

Left-click on Start, then Right-click on My Computer.
Left-click on Properties at the bottom of the list.
Left-click on the Hardware tab.
Left-click on Device Manager.

Once Device Manager has fully loaded left-click on the + sign, next to Network adapters.
What Ethernet chipset are you using? Intel, or Conexant?

Communications (6)
A) Intel - Driver 9 /5/ 2006
B) Conexant - Driver 10/ 21/ 2005

Network (3)
A) Intel - Driver 12 / 1 / 2005

If you have an Intel chipset suggest you download AND install both Intel driver files listed above.

Burn to a CD disk. Put it in your optical drive of the needed computer. Go to My Computer, and DOUBLE-click on the drive letter, of the optical drive with the CD in it.

DOUBLE-click RIGHT ON the file name.
Follow the instructions of the Installation Wizard.
(Just click on Next, Next, and Finish)

Driver: Small piece of software that allows the Operating System to communicate with a device.

Windows XP is the O/S, the ethernet chipset is the device.

When asked to restart the computer - No.
Turn the computer completely off, then after 1 minute turn it on.
(Hard Start)

Still no?
Ethernet adapter card is shot,

This may be of interest to you. I might not be seeing this exactly, so please bare with me.
Possibly, you are not doing the following
Tell your bios to make your dvd for now your 1st drive.
Insert your windows XP setup disk in your dvd drive and reboot your computer.
Your windows XP cd will ask you to push any button when your computer sees your dvd drive while booting up and will begin loading the drivers for your computer.
I think this was lacking. Enjoy

you need the drivers for your window you are currently running try going to the website of the camera make and download the latest drivers for the windows you are now using i.e if xp you need that driver check if you have 32bit xp or 64 bit xp you need the correct driver email me or message me on msn [email protected]

go to bios setup n change sata driver to ATA from AHCI n  also disable da flash play module

Starting from the start plug in the device and XP will detect and look for new drivers a search for drivers is usually done in the inf directory under windows or winnt directory If a driver is not found the computer pops up a question did a Cd or software come with this device if you install the software the a reboot is usally needed if you do not do a reboot you can try once the drivers have been installed unplug the device and plug it back in again the computer will search for the new drivers that are installed and should set up the device to work If it does not work you will need to get driver for the device that will work with XP I have a scanner than need XP drivers but will work on one of the older computers but not XP

This product can be used with Windows Vista.

• To use it with Windows Vista, you must install the driver software for Windows Vista.
  
• The Windows XP drivers for your product cannot be used under Windows Vista.
  
• Easy-WebPrint and PhotoRecord do not support Windows Vista.

Upgrading from Windows XP to Windows Vista :
Before upgrading your OS from Windows XP to Windows Vista, delete / uninstall all the Windows XP driver software first; then, upgrade the OS to Windows Vista and install Vista driver software.
If you have already upgraded your computer's OS to Windows Vista :
Delete / uninstall the Windows XP drivers before installing Vista drivers.

I hope it helps!!!

You have to download XP drivers from the manufacturer's website. This normally happens because your harware was designed for the new OS(Vista).

Just go to hp.com and search for the model of your Laptop.
