i realize this, but i would be installing it on the wrong computer, i am curently on another computer and im trying to get the software on my other computer... how do i get the software onto my other computer via flash drive?

Sorry I am not too familiar with ME.

In XP you can go online in Safe Mode. Can you not do so in ME?

If not please post the link to the driver and we can see what options there are.

heres the link to the driver.. http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scri...%20Me&lang=eng

and i will try to get online on this computer...

Here is the Read me text from Intel:

Read this section:

3.2 MANUAL INSTALL FROM CD-ROM OR HARD DRIVE

I would assume you can transfer the files on a flash drive just as well as on a CD.

okay so i downloaded the .zip file and unzipped it and placed it in a folder, i have a cd and a flash drive so i could place this folder on a cd or on my flash drive, but the flash drive wont work and im not sure how to place it on the cd... for my flash drive, it tells me this folder may be right protected, full, or in use and it is none of these things... Im going to bed right now and i will follow up on these questions tommorow evening, but i really do appreciate this help!

You need the .zip download. Your link was to the .exe

Here is the .zip

Sorry if you had the .zip to begin with; I just noticed the difference as I am trying to load it myself as a test.

Will let you know if I find anything. Do you have a CD burner on the good computer?

yes, i do have a cd burner...

You should be able to burn those files/folders to the CD then follow the Read Me instructions to install.

im not sure how to make a data cd, my disk drive came with some trail nero crap, but it doesnt allow me to copy this folder to a data disk... is there a way to manually do it without nero, or maybe another progam that you know of thats free??
