ethernet controller drivers missing
Hello,
I recently reinstalled windows on my computer due to a series of crashed and the win32 virus, i used my factiry CD.
I use the Windows XP Media Center Edition, my machine is an eMachines W3507
At the begginning, i had the all famous NTLDR is compressed message, so i could't go anywhere from there, so i switched my hard drive from class selective to slave, and only then was i able to reinstall windows.
It was all going well until i tried to go on the internet, i said that my ethernet controller drivers were missing, and so were the drivers for my pci modem, so after 2 weeks of downloading and installing the incorrect drivers for my ethernet controller, i gave up and now i find myself typing this message.
I have lost all hope on the fools at eMachines customer service, because they just tell me to call some guy in India, and he tells me to give him my credit card number, because i never put my coomputer on a waranty.

Does anybody know a website where i can download these drivers, or someone who can help me?
Any help would be gratefully received
thanks in advance
Alex

Here is the official Emachine support page for your model

http://www.emachines.com/support/pro...es&model=W3507

You can easily see the downloads for specific hardware parts....

Network
Description Realtek RTL8139/810x Network Driver
File Type Original Driver

But, the driver is only for Vista it says. Very common Ethernet controller, odd that XP can't install it natively.


Try: http://download.cnet.com/Realtek-RTL...2_4-63908.html

Here's a Gateway one> http://drivers.softpedia.com/progDow...oad-61428.html

Click on "External Mirror 1" it took a couple tries.

Or try this one>>>> http://drivers.softpedia.com/progDow...oad-17566.html

Or here>>>>>> http://www.soft32.com/Download/Free/...-185728-1.html

Use the "External Mirror" links or you will get something like Driver Agent/Detective
