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

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...

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

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.

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

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

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!!!
