My girlfriend has a HP pavilion a6230s.c PC and it came with Windows Vista. She was having to many problems with that crap Vista. I've changed it and put on XP Professional. I've found drivers for everything except networking. She connects with a cable ethernet.

They have told me that I can't find it, since the PC was made for vista :S:S ... Any chance for finding it and a little help would be appreciated! Thanks. PC SPEC

hey nab, if the driver still doesn't do it, you might look into a cheap intel nic pci card

Thanks dude, but my bad that didn't work. :S:S

Well, neh I wont buy anything. I'll just change it back to Vista for her, errrm no money to buy anything for her now. (If she sees this, gonna kick me in the butt) xDD

Isn't there any other way to find the driver before I change it back to Vista?


Thanks for help guys. <333

Also, you can pick up a pci ethernet card for like 10 dollars or less since you said you were worried about the money aspect of it.
