Have you installed the chipset drivers for your mobo (and every

Hi,

I reinstalled XP, and cannot connect to the wireless internet any
longer. there is no wireless network icon under my network
connections. I used to connect to wireless with a usb connection-
when i look in device manager, it shows 'USB device' under 'other
devices' with a yellow '!' and and big '?'. it appears i dont have
the usb driver installed after i reinstalled the OS? I dont have a
cd to install this... do i need one? can anyone help me to install
the usb device driver without an internet connection, and without a
cd to do so?

thank you!!

I haven't downloaded any drivers that werent included in windows,
except for the driver for Netgear. How do I download those? And which
ones do I need?
Thanks-
Kate

What is your mobo or chipset?
(If you don't know, try this) http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html

Then you need to go to the manufacturer's web site to search for the drivers
