A couple of issues I am hoping for some help with

[TheMUBM]

X-86 based system family model 58 stepping 9 genuine intel ~2893 MHZ

I tried 64 bit originally, now I have a 32 bit installed

[PeterOz]

When you installed the 32 bit did you reformat the drive or just load over top of the 64
Did you try the 64 drivers when you had 64 loaded.
Sorry this is taking so long. Just something not right somewhere I can’t put my finger on it yet.

I have tried to install Windows 7

Ok did you reformat after this when you went back to xp

One more question what browser are you using to download the file

[PeterOz]

A couple of more things

1. are you using a usb now or still dvd. If dvd copy the 32 bit network driver to your desktop - will it run?
2. If no click on start >Right click my computer >Left click Properties>Left Click Hardware Tab>Left click device manager
   Left Click + sign next to IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers Right click Primary IDE channel>Left click Properties> Left Click Advanced settings
   Make sure Transfer mode is set to DMA or DMA if available
   Try the exe file again.

If the above does not work and you have a usb stick (to save dvd’s) Try this it is a zip file
Intel driver
Sorry for so many different post - Just try to give as much info as I can because of the time difference
Say if it is overwhelming.

Cheers

No biggie. I haven’t reached my wits end just yet. I will answer your other questions this evening when I get home and have time. I know a guy who runs a PC shop, he said he will look at it for if I can’t get it to work. I am going to try some more stuff before I break down and take it to him.

Well I used Darik’s boot and nuke to completely remove everything. Then started over from scratch with a fresh install, so I assume it reformatted. It does let me install some games, they just won’t play, which I assume has something to do with the lack of video drivers.

It all says DMA if available.

I will see if I can locate my thumbdrive at work today and try this, this evening.

[TheMUBM]

I will say this, that I noticed. When I boot the PC before it goes into boot sequence I get a message that says “media not connected, check cable.” -Not sure what that could be referring to, or if that could be part of the problem.

[PeterOz]

which I assume has something to do with the lack of video drivers.

Correct

media not connected, check cable.

Do you know how to set the Bios ? Normally press F2 then set to defaults should be an option. Then F10 to save and exit

Yeah good enough
