[SOLVED]Re-installing laptop.

July 25th, 2016

Hello,
I just formated my Acer laptop. Now i reinstalled it with Windows XP and i get bollocks i need network drivers to connect to the internet?. I dont have any flipping idea what to do and any help is greatly apriciated.
For your info i got a : Acer Aspire 9412WSMI
My laptop is hooked up to the internet connection around my house, wich the main computer controlls all. When i try to install the laptop onto the network *i open “Network Setup Wizard” it says :
 The wizard cannot find your network hardware.
Before using this wizard you must first install and confirgure your network cards , modems , cables and device drivers

This is as far as i can come , i just installed windows XP on it. And i got no other install CD’s . Any help?
Thanks in advance.

Answer #3
Can you tell me what network card you are using? Without the name of the network card…. it would be very very difficult to get drivers for it.
