DELL LAPTOP DRIVER ISSUE HELP!!!
 

Hey guys , been a while. Im away working in Fort Mac in camp. And my buddies dell laptop wont connect via the ethernet cable. Dont have wireless in this camp.

I get an error message via the windows network diagnostics

* the network adapter " marvell yukon 88e8040 PCI-E fast ethernet controller is experiencing driver or hardware related issues *

checked on my computer via the marvell site. shows a newer version of driver is available. but since we cannot connect to the internet on the other laptop. I downloaded the driver to my desktop, copied to my usb flash drive. but now having issues installing it on his computer.

open the folder and just shows the typical " read me / .dll / .sys * if i click in any of those. It doesnt really let me install

any help would be great guys. RS 4 life!!!!

Go to your Device Manager to update the driver.
1. Start > Run > Type devmgmt.msc and click OK
2. Expand Network adapters
3. Right-click on the Marvell Yukon > click Update Driver
4. Select the option to browse for the driver, and browse to the location of the updated driver.

cant get on internet via the computer thats having issues . wont connect via hard wired ethernet. and no access to wireless to connect to update.
