How to Save Files Using Thumb Drive eHow

Hi Chris,
I see that you are having problem installing the driver for your USB Ethernet adapter. You can try to download the driver using another computer in the link that is posted below. Save it on a thumb driver and double click on the application. You might wanna make sure that you have an extractor for compressed files (rar) like winrar. If you don't, you might want to include downloading Winrar in the thumb drive as well and install it in your computer.

Go to Start Menu: in the search bar type: Ethernet, Ethernet Controller, or Controllers.

This computer's original OS was Windows XP. Check with the Intel Website (www.Intel.com) to see if there is an updated driver for the Ethernet Card and Chipset for the Intel Pro/100 Ethernet Driver for Windows 7. Intel has a utility you can run (follow the instructions) which will detect all your Intel Chipset hardware and provide you with updated driver information. If there is no Windows 7 driver, try using these steps to correct the issue: 1) download the most current ethernet driver from Intel and save to a folder. 2) Once the download is complete, locate the file and right click on it, click on "Properties" 3) select the Compatibility tab and set the options to run the program in Compatibility mode for Windows XP Service Pack 2. 4) A little farther down in the windows, check the box that says "Run as Administrator" 5) apply the settings and close the properties box. 6) double click the the driver file to activate its install. Follow directions and see if this helps your issue. You may need to remove the originial driver files first. To do this, Go to the Device Manager in the control panel from the start menu, Find your Ethernet adapter in the Network Adapters hardware list, right click and select "uninstall" and check the box to remove the driver files, then click okay - then reboot the machine, the run the new driver file you downloaded from Intel in compatibility mode per my previous instructions. If this doesn't solve your issue, I recommend installing a new network card that is compatible with Windows 7. Its an easy install and shouldn't cost you very much . . . less that $25.00 and should take only about 15 minutes to install. Here is a link to Netgear and their Windows 7 compatible hardware Ethernet card for about $19.00. http://www.netgear.com/Products/Adapters/WiredAdapters/FA311.aspx

Your local Wal-Mart or Target will probably have these and other brands in stock.

Hope this helps FixYa! If you find this information helpful, please leave feedback.

Most drivers now come as executables. They will normally unzip themselves to their own folder. The executable file will then install what it needs to install where it needs to install them.

Try downloading and installing the Ethernet driver from this Link.

http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/Other-DRIVERS-TOOLS/Others/INTEX-LAN-Card-8139D-RTL.shtml

Option 1:

Double click on the download file to extract the file. Then double click on ***.exe file to install it in the Computer.

Option 2:

Double click on the download file to extract the file. Go to Device Manager, and try updating the driver (give to location of the downloaded and extracted files).

Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi,
Please install microsoft UAA driver first.
the download the driver from http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&releaseid=R149798&SystemID=INS_PNT_1501&servicetag=&os=WW1&osl=en&deviceid=2966&devlib=0&typecnt=0&vercnt=2&catid=-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=1&libid=5&fileid=19898
and install it it will work.
Make sure that the chipset driver should be loaded there before running the setup of ethernet.

You actually don't need an executable or a setup file to install the driver. When you unzip the set of files, put them on a location on your C:\ drive where you'll know your'll find them like c:\drivers\ethernet (just as an example) Go into device manager and under the device driver for the ethernet controller, right click and then go to "Update Driver." When you get the Hardware Update Wizard, select, "No, not this time" and choose "Install from a list or specific location." Check the "Include this location in the search:" and then browse to the directory where you extracted the files.i.e c:\drivers\ethernet\ and click next until the wizard finishes installing the driver.

I hope that makes sense if you need further clarification please reply back to this post. Please don't rate me until I help you resolve your issue. I will help you resolve it.
