Creating a network adapter driver install disk

  1. Download the latest driver (PRO2KXP.exe) from the support site.

  2. Create a temporary folder for the extracted driver files. (Example: C:\Temporary)

  3. Open an command-line prompt window, then go to the directory where the downloaded driver file was saved and enter “PRO2KXP.exe /s /e /f c:\Temporary”. When the command prompt appears, the files have been extracted successfully.

  4. Using Windows* Explorer, go to the temporary directory where the files are extracted. Depending on the device installed on the system, go to either PRO100 or PRO1000 folder. Under “Win32” folder, search for the files listed below:
