Chipset driver

[iceclimbers54]

OK i've been posting at 3 different forums, can't get a useful reply to save my life.

So lets take a step back one second, i'm in Safe mode, mobo freezes can't load XP right now. I'm trying to install a new chipset driver, I'm given the driver and the driver disk, what do i do? When i open the driver in safe mode it only reads the file as a .RAR file, how or where do i put the file in order for it to run? And no their aren't any instructions i can find in any manual or at the manufacturers website that can help me.

it is a 30 meg file, if that helps....

Could you list your hardware parts please?

What happens when you put in the Motherboard CD?

[iceclimbers54]

AMD 64 3700
ASUS A8N5X
1 gig ddr400 ram (Patriot)
100 gig Maxtor Diamonback HDD
HP DVDRW drive
FX 7900 GT PCIE

And for boot the motherboard cd gives you a bunch of option to make boot disk or raid drivers, when in windows it allows you to install chipset drivers and components, however the one issue i have is that Asus Update will not read my board as a Asus board and will not install, mentioning some wierd NT problem.

as i posted earlier in a different thread, i've done all the standard stuff i can think of. XP just will not load, but i'm good in safe mode, so i'm assuming its got to be some kind of driver that i need.

Also the XP is using SP2

Do you have the new Drivers for the 7900 series from Nvidia?

[iceclimbers54]

yes

EDIT: Forgot X-fi card, but that definately isn't the problem, and yes drivers for that too, but not the new ones (if thier is one but hey, at least thats one thing i can do)

Please don't post threads all over the forums for this problem. Please provide links to the other threads so we can see the whole story. It is a LOT easier to provide competent help if all the data is in ONE thread.
