    Hey guys,
    I just restored my Windows XP computer.
    I tried to set it up to connect to my LAN but the Hardware was not found.
    This is probably because the driver is non existent.
    Next i put in the driver CD and tried to run the setup file but it would not open.
    Any ideas of what to do?


    Thanks-
    Win.Mac

    No disk light activity? No "wait" icon? No error message?

    The disk light turns on and flashes... The wait icon appears but then nothing happens. No error message occurs or anything. It's like I didn't even clickanything. The computer reads the disc because the Linksys Set up icon appears as the disc image....

    From your reply, I assume this is for some Linksys hardware. You need to contact them.

    Yup, Linksys should definetly solve the problem. I have heard of this before, and Linksys can usually help.
