Hi everyone,

Im fixing up another pc and am having trouble finding some of the drivers, just wondered if anyone would know where I could find them.
The machine is a dell optiplex g60, Ive been on dells support site, entered the unique code on the machine, accessed the drivers but the problem is this, when i try and open the file it keeps asking me for the last of a sequence of zip disks (which of course I don't have) and wont open. I cant find the the drivers anywhere else and am a bit stuck, any help would be much appreciated, I cant do anything with the machine connected to the net as i dont have the ethernet controller driver....annoying

What are the drivers you need?

here is the link to the page on the dell website:-

Hi Danmurph,
I've just downloaded both drivers from the link yu provided and they both extracted and ran fine.

Have you tried re-downloading them at all? As what you describe suggests a corrupt file.

HTH

NB

 

ive downloaded them numerous times and tried to extract on two machines with different versions of xp, did you fully extract them?
was it the 3com driver?

 

Yes it was the 3com driver (2nd in list) and I've just installed it on a vm.

NB

 

I've put the ethernet driver I downloaded from Dell here. I've zipped the contents up into a .zip file as opposed to the .exe self extracting format the dell use.
You should be able to get to the contents of the folder.

HTH

NB

 

I have downloaded them too if NBs don't work give me a shout and I'll email them to you.

 

Ive run the setup, restarted the machine but it still isnt working, ive also tried the intel one in the list and that doesnt work either, I really dont know what to do

 

Is the ethernet on-board or is it a separate pci card?

Also, have you downloaded and installed the chipset drivers?

NB

 

Boys, its all sorted, I was trying to install the wrong driver!!
It was so obvious I can only blame my tiredness, thats whathappens when you work for royal mail for a year, got a job interview for first line support on monday so lets hope I dont balls it up with a mistake like that!!
Anyway thanks again

 

Glad its sorted.

Good luck with the interview.
