HP doesn't offer support for this machine in Windows XP... they only support it in Windows Vista and they only shipped this machine with Vista installed.

To find make and model of pc hardware, EVEREST Home Edition is a free system diagnostics, system information program that will id most hardware onboard a mb. as well as the actual motherboard.

Alternate Everest download link: (offers 2 sites to dl program from)
http://www.softpedia.com/progDownloa...oad-16369.html

Run the program and then:

Click on Computer
Click on Summary
Right hand window (hardware) if the text is BLUE this is a link to the web site for that particular hardware.

If you have additional questions or need further help, please post a SUMMARY report from Everest.

I think I need a driver for my network device. Currently it seems quite inactive. It doesn't even detect if a LAN cable is connected or not. However in the summary list in Everest I couldn't find anything about my network device. Could you help me with what I need to do to get my network device working?

Here goes the summary report. In advance sorry for the wall of text. Have left out the Debug - PCI part since the message would be too long otherwise. Hope it wasn't needed.

Is the above listed device, which is a Wireless LAN, the device your needing a driver for? If so, I cannot help because the description doesn't mention brand or model.


I don't understand the following words in the summary report:

værtscontroller
broenheder
lagerenhed

Is the device you need a driver for integrated on the motherboard, or does it plug into a pci slot, or is it external USB?

This is the only XP driver I could find in our database: http://members.driverguide.com/drive...riverid=558858

And you may wish to try another program called "Unknown Devices". It might provide additional information about the hardware that Everest missed or just didn't identify. You can get it here:

http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3908.html

To help find unknown devices and figure out what they really are.

"Unknown Devices" Tips:
- Press F3 to search the selected text on the internet. (Ctrl-F3 to search without the "+drivers") - Press F2 or Ctrl-C to copy selected to clipboard
- Using an item under Full Details for a web search will likely give you better results.

Limitations:
- This program only knows about PCI and AGP devices. It will not be able to help with ISA based devices and original PCMCIA cards.
- Also this program shows all devices found in the registry including devices that no longer exists!
- This program might not display the unknown icon for some devices even if Windows really doesn't know what it is


And Biostar has a board with the same RTL8201N onboard ethernet so try their unified driver.
