The motherboard that I have is referenced here BIOSTAR :: TA690G AM2 :: Specification, and I tried going into downloads and downloaded the Vista onboard lan driver, but
and when I pressed install for the yk62x86.inf, it said Install error, The INF file you selected does not support this method of installation.? I just dont get it.
Have you already tried installing the onboard LAN drivers from that link to see if they work?
Yes I did, I tried to install it but it says ZIP damaged: file C:/Users/AppData/Local/Temp/WZSE0.TMP/data1.cab:Bad CRC8584abc8(should be cb725393). Possible cause: file transfer error.
I see now. My apologies. It would appear that different regional versions of certain manufacturer's websites (BioStar included) list different content. This sort of thing is most annoying, and it is something which I, for one, wish they would stop as it makes things difficult for people, both as users of their products and for those of us helping such users in forums like this.
As to your driver problem, I can only suggest that you try to download the driver again. The Realtek site is notoriously slow, and it is possible that you have simply got a corrupt download.
Its no problem, But I have just installed the onboard lan driver from the biostar site itself, but it says this version is for vista only. When I installed the other one the Brink gave me from the realtek site itself, it didnt work. So i dont know what to do now.
Yes, It was running on x64 windows 7 7100, then I updated to x64 windows 7 7600 but couldnt activate it. So i decided to reformat again and install x32 bit windows 7 7600. So now I am current running bit x32. And yes the internet did work before.
For some reason when I try to install the realtek it tells me that No network interface card exists in the machine.
You might see if you can install the Vista version by using Compatibilty Mode with Vista selected. They worked just fine for in Windows 7 for me.
