I have a serious problem with my PC.
I had to format my disk and reinstall Windows XP (with SP2), but I can not
get to in web because Windows thinks that my network card is of Asound, but
its of Realtek.

I tried doing update driver using the Realtek RTL8139/810X Family PCI Fast
Ethernet Card driver on the device manager.
I tried uninstalling the driver, and then letting Windows find it again.
I tried downloading new driver from the Internet (using another PC).

But came out Asound. Windows simply does not let me change the driver.

I logged in with Administrator account.

I talked with the my ISP service provider, and they also found that the
trouble is with my NIC.

How can I force Windows use the driver that has on a disk, and not the
built-in Asound?

Wrong forum, but try this:

1. Open device manager, select the NIC, and then "update driver". Make
sure to let Windows *not* automatically select a driver, but choose to
manually select a driver.

2. Then enter the path to the driver files that you think are the
right ones.

3. Windows should now present you a list of drivers and/or driver
versions from which you can choose.

Ok, it's working now.

After boot to safe mode and removing the driver, and the restarting again
and manually updating the driver to my specific INF file which I have with
the NIC itself. And it's working.

Thank you for you kind help
