From: Trevor on 30 Dec 2008 10:18 Trying to fix up an old computer a long way from home. I have had to reinstall XP and now the wireless adapter has a yellow ? in Device Manager and hence doesn't work. It is the type you have to take the side of the PC of and plug into the MoBo - sorry don't know the name - an aerial sticks out the back of the desktop PC. I have no idea what make of adapter it is, Belarc Advisor doesn't pick it up and there's no info on it either. Any ideas on ways of getting it to work?
From: David B. on 30 Dec 2008 10:29 You'll have to take the card out and find out who makes it and get a model number to determine the driver you need. -- ---- Crosspost, do not multipost http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 Help Us Help You http://dts-l.net/goodpost.htm "Trevor" <trevor(a)nospam.woldsweather.co.uk> wrote in message news:495a3ad5$0$4068$ba4acef3(a)news.orange.fr... > Trying to fix up an old computer a long way from home.

Can you click on that yellow ? in dev. manager, then Properties, Details, and select "Hardware IDs" on the top? Post the longest (topmost) string that shows up there, it should be like \PCI\VEN_xxxx&DEV_yyyy&SUBSYS_xxxxx .... Regards, --PA

Google finds the following driver link: http://www.wireless-driver.com/download/other/TI-TNETW1130GVF-Chipset-Driver.htm It looks reasonable, but I haven't tried it, use on your own risk, or search for other download.
