Guest Shahzad Ahmed Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 Hi, I have Realtek 8139 PCI Family PCMICA Card which is PnP in Windows XP. When I plug it into Laptop A and B, Windows XP automatically detects it and installs it but when I plug it into Machine C with Windows XP, it detects it as Ethernet Controller and also refuses to accept any drivers when manually provided. In short it is not installing not by itself nor when its drivers are provided. Rest of the devices like builtin NIC and Modem are working perfectly. Any Suggestion. Regards Shahzad Ahmed

Perhaps there's a conflict with a sound card or modem. From my experience, there's no notice of a conflict in the Device Manager, but the conflict is real. As a test, remove the sound card, or move the devices to different slots. -- Joe =o)
Guest John Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 Re: Ethernet Controller Installation Do you get the "Windows Has Found a Driver for your new Hardware" message? If so there's possibly an OEM.inf file that needs to be removed so windows can't find any inf file for that chipset. If the card is installed and you get the yellow, not working, symbol in device Manager, try Undating the driver and point to the ones you want to use.

Guest Shahzad Ahmed Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Re: Ethernet Controller Installation When i plug in the card, it opens "Found new hardware wizard" window. rather than showing "Realtek 8139 PCI Family PCMICA Card found" which is the case when i plug it into other XP machines, it shows it has found "Ethernet Controller". When the driver path is provided to this wizard, it says, this driver is not valid for this device. it should be detected automatically in XP, and i have tried this on other 2 machines.
