Sorry for taking so long to get back to you on this i have been away. I've used everest as you said an thankfully got quite a lot of information from it. The hardware i need drivers for are: Networkcard - VIA VT6102 Rhine II fast ethernet adapter Multimedia - VIA AC'97 enhnced adio controller Motheroard Name - medion 2010 Motherboard ID - <DMI> Is there any other info that might help in finding the right drivers? Thanks

Fair point i don't want to wreck it, although i am a little better than i sound. But i'll take your advise as you obviously know considerably more than me. I'll run everest when i get back from work and let you know what it says, hopefully something useful. Thanks for all the help

Wow wow wow, those last few replies have gone a little over my head. What is the mobo and how will that help me? this seems to have turned into a major problem, i was hoping someone would just be able to give me simple instructions to follow. no offence meant and thanks for everyones help i just thought it would be alot easier. if i open up the laptop where will the hardware be located and will i get the right info of it? i've been told by a guy on the phone at medion that that is my best chance of finding what drivers i need, that's if the drivers exist. Thanks

Unfortunately not, the cd's are long gone. I have asked but they were no help so i'm stuck. I've plugged it in but nothing happens, it just starts the new hardware found wizard which is useless without drivers. I've started another post asking if anyone else has the same laptop so that maybe they could tell me what the hardware is in the hope i'll be able to locate the right drivers so we'll see how that goes. Thanks for the help

Does anybody own a medion laptop? Model number MAM2010 or 40812. I really need to know the name/brand or spec of the hardware, especially the sound and network cards so i can look for the right drivers. Please medion owners help me....

Thanks, that's brilliant an probably got the drivers i need but how do i know which ones i do need? I'm not sure what the hardware is exactly because i can't identify it so what can i do? sorry for all the hassle an thanks for your help

unfortunately device manager can't tell me exactly what the hardware is called because it's not installed correctly because no drivers. It just says PCI simple communications controller for one and multimedia audio controller for the other. I was hoping someone may have the same computer and be able to tell me what the hardware is. Everything revolves around using the internet to find out but that's the only thing i can't do. Any other ideas?? Thanks

It's a medion MAM2010 notebook, i think the model number is 40812. Thanks for your help

Hmmm, if that's the one the rj-45 cable goes in then yes. There is also another small one next to it if that helps. Thanks

Hello, i'm just looking for some advice. I'm not sure i'm posting this in the right place but it's my first post so please go easy on me. I've recently b given a medion laptop, it's old and didn't work when i received it because of so many viruses etc. I've cleared it and re-installed windows xp service pack 2 and it seems to be running fine. The problem is though that not all the hardware has been installed automatically. The soundcard and network card drivers can't be found. Unfortunately i can't connect to the internet to find them cause the netwrk card isn't installed. I've tried contacting medion but they say they no longer make this laptop so drivers are unavailable. I have access to thew internet but don't seem to be able to find a solution. The laptops a medion mam2010 so anyone with any ideas adivce or help please send me a message. Thanks..

Hello everyone, just thought i'd introduce myself before i started asking for help. HELLO EVERYONE!!!!!
