Drivers?

I just got a wiped IBM ThinkCentre M52 series and put windows xp sp2 on it.

It is not recognizing the ethernet driver, and if i plug in a aux cable to my tv, nothing happens at all.

I tried downloading the ethernet driver, installing it, restarting the computer, and nothing happened.

What should I do?

Re: Drivers?

Update: I tried installing SP3 from a dvd onto it, but still no luck.

Also, When It installed these drivers, it put them into a directory outside C:\Windows. that directory was C:\IBMTOOLS\Drivers\

Is there anything I have to do to get my computer to recognize any of the files?

Re: Drivers?

right click ethernet controller->Update driver

>>choose "no not at this time" ->next

>>install from a specific locaiton -> next

>>check the box for "include this location in the search" -> browse

navigate to the folder for the Ethernet driver....it will not let you click okay until it found a *.inf file.

 

then click next and enjoy

tell me if you need further assistance. 

If os please provide machine type and model so I can give you more in depth directions
