Will do. It will take me a minute. I left my thumbdrive at work so I will need to use cd-r or DVD, so i am going to download all the possible drivers.

Have them transferred to xp computer now. Everyone I click gives me the same win32 error

 

[PeterOz]

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?

 

[TheMUBM]

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)

Here is what it shows.

 

[TheMUBM]

Sorry that’s the video. You want the Ethernet right

 

[TheMUBM]

Sorry didn't catch your first question. They are EXE's

 

[TheMUBM]

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.

 

[TheMUBM]

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.

 

[PeterOz]

Something not making sense here
Click start right click my computer Left click propertities - Post a pic.
We always have the option of xpmode

 

[PeterOz]

In your pics you gave me the device for the video I need the same for the network card.
Deep breath - walk away if needed and come back.

Ok when you get a usb stick can you go and get this driver Click On Me
On the last lot of drivers I showed yo did you get the xp or the xop 64bit?
Lets hope this one works

 

[TheMUBM]

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.

 

[PeterOz]

Can you open a command / Dos Prompt and type sfc /scannow press enter NB there is a space between sfc and the slash
IF that runs when finished at the dos prompt chkdsk C: /f /r press enter

 

[PeterOz]

If both run try the exe files again

 

[TheMUBM]

The first appeared to run correctly and finished. No command prompt came up so I brought one up and typed in what you said and it said path not found

 

[TheMUBM]

Nevermind, I forgot to put in chkdsk, but it says it cant run because it is in use. I am going to try to restart it
