FaT_PHiL Posted March 14, 2006 CID Share Posted March 14, 2006 I just have a quick question about drivers. I have windows 98SE now and i want to upgrade to xp pro. My question is do i have to redownload any drivers for my NIC or anything to make my internet work. I only have 1 computer that has access to the internet and i wanted to know if i didnt have to save anything prior to upgrading the OS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

php Posted March 15, 2006 CID Share Posted March 15, 2006 I would download the drivers just to be safe... WinXP has drivers for a lot of cards, but not everything... my OptiPlex's integrated gigabit is one that isn't included... (intel pro1000/mt) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
