Hi Keith,
Wait until she's 16 or 18, and then it's REAL payback time!
And that's speaking from personal experience, believe me!
(Smile)
So now you go to
http://support.intel.com/design/motherbd/bz/bz_drive.htm
from your working PC and download the drivers. But also
read the Steps link about installing them.
I'm afraid you have not got much alternative but to either
do this via Windows 2000 on that machine, or copy them via
CD from one to the other.
George.

Hi George,
Not sure where to go now. Yes, it has seen an ethernet
device which it does not recognize. It says in device
manager that the device is unknown and it has no drivers.
If I tell it to get a driver, it wants to go on line, which
of course, it cannot do. I tryed showing it the intel
drivers and it did not want to know them and I tryed telling
it to look in windows and that was not good either.
This is all possible because of the 9 year old, Charlotte
but it is costing me dearly in bribes. I could have got a
new computer for less.
So, I wonder what drivers I need? I cannot let it find them
as I need to go online with the other drive and transfer
what I download via cd.
