I recently plugged in my ethernet connection and realised my connection wasn't there. I uninstall the hardware and reinstall it but it still doesn't work, it says it can't start?
Can anyone help
I have downloaded recent drivers to which it still doesn't work from HP and realtek.
I'm running windows xp on a compaq presario 2267ap.
The ethernet connection is wired direct to the motherboard.

Sounds like the device has failed. Since 1) you have a desktop; and 2) a replacement PCI NIC is under $15 USD - buy a replacement NIC. Uninstall your onboard NIC from Device Manager and shut down. Install the PCI NIC. Start the computer and press the correct key to get into the BIOS. Find the entry for onboard peripherals and disable the onboard NIC. Restart the computer and boot into Windows. Install the new NIC.

Accessing the BIOS
