Never upgrade. Clean install is the way.

[gtasanandreas]

get the latest xp by eth0 and format and clean install...

[Virtualbody1234]

Upgraded from what?

It also helps if you post your system specs.

Sounds like you need to install the chipset drivers.

All the drivers, actually.

No real surprise that a new install needs drivers...how does this qualify as "hell"?

[backlash]

it's hell when you don't have your NIC drivers and can't download them from the net. I'm assuming he posted here from another computer.

Fair assumption, that.

[unholyman]

since you have another pc,very simple mah. Just use the pc that you use to post to dl the NIC driver and copy to a floppy or thumb driver and transfer it over lor
