Hi, have you installed the chipset driver?
http://global-download.acer.com/GDF...tep3=T2240&OS=X01&LC=en&BC=eMachines&SC=PA_6E
The network card is probably based on the motherboard?
You may also be able to find drivers using the device ID info.
Go to control panel, system then Device Manager.
Once there find the network card that needs the driver, probably marked with a '?' icon
Right-click and select properties
Select the details tab and then find the hardware Ids - note these down.
Example - VEN_8086&DEV_10F5&SUBSYS_30DB103C
Go to your webbrowser and search for the VEN,DEV and SUBSYS that you have noted, you should be able to find drivers for those, even if it links to another PC manufacturer - The hardware ID's are for the chipset used, which several companys will use.
Hope this helps?
hmm okay,
have you gone here = eMachines Support: Drivers and Downloads
Select Desktop, T Series and then T2240.
You'll see a list of 4 files.
Download the chipset and audio files, install reboot if required, then let me know what's going on
Okay, can you please do the following:-
1. go into to control panel, system then Device Manager
2. Find the hardware that's not configured - those items with the '?' or if you have tried various drivers, they may be listed as 'installed' but not actually working - they'll be under Network Adapter and Sound,video and game controllers or something similar
3. please take a screenshot of each of the 'details/hardware Ids' for both items that are doing your head in lol
4. Send the screenies to me @ del.scott 'at' gmail.com
5. I'll hunt the net, search forums and do my best to get the stuff you need.
Um please note, if I get the hw Id's etc - I should get you sorted. I'm one of those wee chaps, wearing white labcoat and also those NHS glasses of old lol
It bugs the shit out of me when folks get fucked over by Microsoft and/or thie PC maker after a need to rebuild.
I hope to get you sorted out driver-wise BD
Can't promise cars,babes or lottery number wins, but hopefully a PC that werks lol
