[RESOLVED] Ethernet and Sound Drivers
I have a computer "Gigabyte GA-X79-UD3" That I installed Windows XP Pro version 2002 with service pack 3. The computer came with a cd Gigabyte Intel X79 Series Utilities. The CD does not run with Windows XP. Is there any way to get the ethernet driver and sound driver for that motherboard? I believe it is Intel.
Thanks.

Did you check the Gigabyte website? Looks like they have LAN and Audio drivers.

Thanks for the reply!
I did go to the site and downloaded "Intel_lan_msft_v17.4_whql_rev1". I unzipped it and then got lost trying different parts of the file. I did copy the file to a flash drive and put the flash drive in the computer and ran it first.

I don't see where you got that file from. This is the file I see for the XP LAN drivers:

After you unzip the drivers, you have to browse to the .inf file for the ethernet card.
If it's a gigabit card, I'd guess the .inf is in one of the subfolders.
\Intel\PRO1000\Win32\
You need to install the drivers using the .inf. I know this link is for Win7, but it's similar.

This is really embarrassing. But I need to fess up. I was given two Gigabyte computers and assumed they were both the same since they came from the same place. One is a GA-X79-UD3 and the one needing the drivers is a GA-EX58-UD3R. The installation CD for the computer works just fine. Another lesson learned the hard way. Don't assume. Thank you for your help! It's the pits getting old.
