Can you download this file and install it

[Skyholder]

Downloading to a flashdrive now...
What next?

[Skyholder]

Down loaded... installed... no change.

[Megabite]

What is the make and model or just post the link where you are trying to get the drivers

[Skyholder]

Its a Sony Vaio. Understand that I have a Dell Demesion 47 that crashed, and am trying to rebuild it. After reinstalling WindowsXPPro to it, I found I have no eithernet connection, no sound, etc... so I am using a Sony Vaio laptop to download these this to a flashdrive, for installing ON the dell.

And its the Vaio that has the problem downloading...

[Megabite]

Are you downloading them to the Vaio...Hard drive first.....say Desktop or My Documents

[Skyholder]

I put it on a flashdrive. Then dragged to the desktop. Double clicked it, and it appeared to install. Brought up the DOS screen for a few seconds, then closed. I rebooted, tried the download from Dell, and got the same prompt.

[Megabite]

Can you copy them to a CD and see if that works....but copy them to the Desktop...not drag

[Skyholder]

No CD drive. Just tried copying. Attempting DL from Dell again.

[Skyholder]

Managed to DL onto the hhd, then copied to the flash.
At any rate, I got the network adapter back up.
I'll take it from here.
Thanks for the assist!!!!
Happy 4th!!!
