Odd you did choose XP and not XP 64 bit.
That message normally means 64 instead of 32 or corrupt driver. is it an exe file or a zip file.
If zip then it has to unpack first.
I don't want you to keep wasting dvd's
Try this
If it has a yellow mark and no name then right click on the adapter>Left click on Properties >Details Tab.
Use the drop down box to show Device Description. If no name change the drop down to Hardware Id's
What is listed?
 
To clarify, I actually did choose 64 bit because I failed to express that the version of Windows I have installed is xp 64 bit pro. And I did choose the dell drivers for 64 (although I originally linked you to 32 bit)
 
I think I may know part of my problem and I apologize for wasting your time. I wasn't even thinking when I installed this WinXP and it being a 64 bit OS. The PC is a 32 bit system. I am going to uninstall XP and see if I can find a 32 bit version.
 
I don't know man. I am reading somethings that say you can't install a 64 bit OS on a 32 bit system. However, this windows is 64 bit and the system information for the PC shows me an x86 which I thought meant 32 bit. I am about ready to give up. This is becoming more trouble than it is worth.

I installed xp 32 bit. but I will say that I found a service tag on this PC and was able to look it up on Dell's site. I found the exact drivers I need from them but again, they are all in exe form and when I try to execute them I get the win32 error.
