    getting windows default drivers to a machine without internet access


    Hi folks,
    Here's the $0.000064000 question. I have a usb network adapter (RTL SU8192) I want to send to my ex's son the wifi adapter I set his computer up with died. catch is I don't remember the wifi password so I want windows to use the stored one if I download the realtek driver it will install an app and take over the connection. I know windows 7 has a driver on windows update, and I'm hoping that if I could download that to cd he could install the default windows driver and maybe then connect with the stored wifi password.
    Any of you know how I could get a manual download of the driver files from windowsupdate for a stand alone machine?

    You can see if any of these,(towards the middle of the page) are what you are looking for.

    those are standard drivers with the application. No I'm looking for the drivers from the windows update site that are usually less than 1 mb large (for 7 this driver is less than 400kb) but I'm trying to figure out how to download that without having to have internet access on the mashine.

    well that way exactlly what I was looking for
    Now that's what I call windows specific drivers (while it only list 7 it actually has entries for win 2000/xp and vista so it will work on all their computers)
    :) Case solved
