T500 WiFi Driver Issue WinXP SP1

Hi all, I need some help from the techies please!!

I have had a very nasty virus (Ramnit-G) rip through my T500 which has rendered it unusable and needing a full re-install.

Now I have a legit copy of XP SP1 which is tried and tested many times on my 6 other machines so all is good.

I downloaded the ThinkVantage system update thingy as mentioned in the 4th post on this thread and also my wireless interweb driver 6mcw24ww.exe from here.

XP install all done so first job to do is get some interweb, but alas, the driver stubbornly refuses to do anything because it would like a windows installer first . So off I toddle to microsoft site and download the win installer 3.1 and install that and the interweb driver starts to install..... only to get to the final hurdle and then fail with an error box which says nothing more than "2: 0 1:" in it with an exclamation mark icon.

Can anyone help with a way round this please? The guide on the first page of this thread seems to be geared up for XP SP3 disks but unfortunately mine is an early SP1 version.

 

Moved to new thread, as this post does not have anything to do with the thread you posted in, and you'll likely get more feedback here.

Are you browsing to the directory that the driver extracts its files to and then running the setup? You will need to do that to complete installation of the WiFi driver.

 

Why don't you put SP3 on there? Most drivers probably assume it's there.
