Also, how do i find the driver for the windows xp pro sm bus controller. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
According to their website, they don't list many drivers. Here is there list of drivers....http://www.emachines.com/support/pro...es&model=W3052
Perhaps you have a PCI network card or you have bad motherboard that is not recognizing the pci slots or intergrated network card. How old is this computer? Or maybe you fubared the install up? Hard telling actually. Did this computer come with a restoration cd or back up partition to reinstall the OS? Provide us with more information so we can help you possibly.
