hi i have a compaq presario sr1924nx desktop computer which i recently installed xp on, my internet connection will not work nor do i have a network adapter listed. how do i go about getting the driver updates with no internet connection and where do i find the one for network adapters ? this site http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=228&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=my&lang=en&product=3198973 has the updates but i do not know what will update my network adapter. can someone help me or point me in the right direction ? thanks
use this link http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...n&dlc=en&cc=ca&product=3198973&os=228&lang=en & put onto cd or usb flashdrive.
ive installed that but a message says to install through the device manager ? in the device manager theres still no network showinf except for "1394 net adapter" which is firewire or something ? any ideas ? the network adapter is built right on the motherboard
yes "other devices" and theres about 6 other things within this the six things are audio device other pci bridge device pci simple comm. controller sm bus controller unkown device video controller
ive installed all of the drivers and the question marks are still there aloong with no network adapter
uninstall the question mark devices & re-start windows so it can find new hardware & load it's drivers.
well now the computer wont start up missing file or corrupt "root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe" any idea how i would go about re installing a copy of it..
You may have bad RAM. In an otherwise working system, I have seen missing file or corrupt "root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe" with bad RAM in the system. Troubleshooting multiple problems is challenging, but doable if you focus on one problem at a time. First you need to get the laptop back up and stable before working on your NIC problem. If possible, start moving/swapping/removing RAM until the laptop boots consistently.
