Hi, Just put XP on a medion and i dont have a LAN driver, as such i cannont connect it to the net to download the driver! and other dirvers My computer is a Medion MD-98200 and originally came with vista on it. how do i find out what i need? Cheers
Download the chipset driver from Medion.co.uk (only the vista version is there). It is a self-extractor, so extract it to some location. Then go to device manager, rightclick on the list and choose Scan for Hardware changes. XP should recognise and use the Vista drivers, as these are all NT based. Otherwise you'll need to download Intel chipset 915 or 945 driver from intel.com. But try my first solution.
Hi, Thanks for the help my chipset is the 945GM model, i have sorted the chip set drive but that failed to find the ethernet LAN driver. Sorted graphics How do i find out what ethernet device i have? Cheers
I just figured out that you can run the setup executables of each driver on the medion website. So try to run setup with the chipset driver, Wlan driver, modem driver and sound driver from the medion website.
All but there now sound etc everything Just the WLAN to go managed to find most of the XP drivers need to search for the 2120 XP drivers on the medion site. When i download the Vista driver it gives me 4 files athrusb, athxrusb (system files) and netathrusb, netathxrusb (setup information) What do i do with these files, or is there a better source. My device manager has not yet spotted the Wireless Adapter Getting rather anoyed now Cheers Kit
If device manager hasn't spotted it yet, then go to Control panel > Add hardware. In the wizard, press Next. Select "Yes, I have already connected the hardware". and press Next. At the list, scroll completely down and doubleclick on "Add a new hardware device". Select "Install the hardware that I manually select from a list(advanced)". Doubleclick on Network Adapters. Click on Have Disk, and browse to the folder with the WLAN driver. Select one of the INF files and add it to the system. Now go to Device Manager and Rightclick on the list. Choose Scan for hardware changes, and it should then recognise the WLAN device.
Thanks again Bud In the end i called medion and found out that the wireless adapter was a atheron Ar5007ug - googled that had fun with the software Sorted Cheers Kit
