Need help with Compaq drivers

[DaTT]

I recently bought an off lease Compaq D500 desktop PC for my business. It didn't come with the driver disk. I really only need the onboard ethernet to work for internet purposes. I downloaded every availble driver for the D500 relating to ethernet adapter's.......none got rid of the yellow question mark in device manager.

Any ideas on what I can do?

what does it say? the yellow question mark

might not be a driver prob

Pretty sure its a driver prob.....details say something about lacking a driver. Would the chipset drivers do anything? I hate not having a driver disk.

Post the model number and we might be able to help.

Go to the Intel site and get the ProSet II drivers.

Model number for the mobo?

You can always disable it and drop in a $15 pci ethernet card if you can't find what kind is inbuilt. Otherwise if you can pm me the serial # and product id # of your unit I can probably look up what kind of card you have on Monday. Good luck.

 

Are you sure it's not these?

This is the first time I wish I had my notes from my last job. I had the same problem as you are having (D500 network driver issue)... and for the life of me, I can't remember what I did to solve it. 🙁

I might be able to help you after I go into work today, we have some d500 software lying around.
