Answer» Quote Raptor- How can I install new drivers without a connection. I don't have any floppy disks for the job 1. USB stick 2. CD-RW 3. Serial connection 4. Infrared connection. The list goes on. If you do not have the correct drivers INSTALLED the device MAY never work.After more research, I read that Microsoft Loopback Adapter is installed when no network card is DETECTED. There is no network card to be detected, just the port on the motherboard. Does anything specific have to be installed for that or is Microsoft Loopback Adapter my only choice here. BTW, Microsoft Loopback Adapter was NOT what was installed before and before the reformat everything was working fine, with the INTERNET at least. I have no blank media either except for some floppys which I found. Hope the drivers are small.You may need to install motherboard drivers.Just noticed he has no floppy drive.....Quote from: Gabriel_Knight on June 22, 2005, 10:30:26 PM
Floppy disks are not the only way to get the driver you need. You could use other means such as usb and cd installers. However, you MUST ensure that you're installing the correct one for it to work properly. In your case, there must probably be some incompatibility issues with the network card driver that is currently installed on your brother's PC. You may try searching for compatible network card drivers by typing the 'Microsoft Loopback Adapter' on the search bar. Else, just contact the manufacturer or hire a technician. good luck!
