Without a model # it's hit-or-miss with finding a driver. There has to be something written on it.

In the system under device manager it displays the following:

3Com Fast Etherlink XL 10/100Mb FX Ethernet NIC (3C905B-FX)

The file I first asked you to download in this post is the correct one. Burn the file to a CD, or put it on a floppy since it's less then a MB in size. That's of course that the laptop has a floppy drive.

After I download it to the floppy do I then go to reinstall driver and click the a drive

[Fenor]

No, just double click the file to RUN it and follow the onscreen prompts.

What screen should I be in when I do this?

[Fenor]

any screen, just open MY COMPUTER, then the A DRIVE and then double click the file.

[mcavinee]

Thank you so very much for your patience in helping me. It was appreciated very much.

No problem! Did it work out fine and it's installed now?

Fenor

[mcavinee]

I downloaded it and it keeps saying I need to format the floppy. So I am doing this now

[Fenor]

Alright keep me posted, I'll stay awake until we resolve this.

[mcavinee]

I formatted the floppy and copied the file. When I place it in the laptop and click the A drive it comes up the disk in A drive is not formatted

[Fenor]

does your computer that you are talking to me through have a CD Writer on it?

[mcavinee]

After I formatted it it coems up windows could not format this disk. I have used three disks now and it says the same thing. Could all three be bad?
